Today on Modern Builds, we’re making an American flag, but not just any flag, we’re using a Japanese wood-burning technique called shou-sugi-ban. All of the equations are on my website below if you want to make a different size as well as a template for the stars.

great work bro
Where did you get the pattern with the stars
Im having trouble determining how wide and tall to make the star area. I want the entire flag to be 38 inches wide. What dimensions would you do the star square?
Hey bud a biscuit joiner would help a lot for alignment purposes of the stripes in the flag. Looks awesome though, keep up the good work
hey bud. great video. i have 1 question- do you cut both sides of each wood piece, or do u just cut just 1 side (to the stripes). Or is the way it comes from the shop a good solid cut side?
Super job my friend! You did the stars much much easier than I did, but I guess I’ll know for next time. Maybe you could swing by my channel a check out the flag I just finished. 🙂
Did you clean an wire brush the burnt wood
I would totally do this with the flag of my county, except it would be boring, since it would only be 2 dark and 1 light stripe. (Austrian flag)
dude I would love to have one of those that is really cool man
any ways to char it without expensive torches?
Quick question did you print your template out on a regular 8.5X11 sheet of paper or different size?
how much do you make a year after taxes selling this stuff
Oh man, this is awesome. Might have to make one!
You are extremely talented! Love all of your videos
just made my first one today. used .40 cal spent bullet rounds as the stars. I’d send a picture but not sure where to send it to.
what kind of wood did you use??
How/where can you make a personal template? I’ve found nothing on the internet
I meant to add the comment on this video. .4″ is 3/8 on your tape .4×16=6.4 so 6/16 (sixteenths being highest denominator on your average tape) reducing to lowest terms=3/8
Would I be able to get the same effect using a bernzomatic hand torch?
hey man nice job. where did you get your template?
Great job, Brother!
Very nice flag. The char technique is always fun to do. Great video.
love ur table saw guide ( level ) use the materials u hav at hand, nothing fancy. great video
Really helpful dude thanks for the video, this will help me make america great again
I cant find the star template on your website! help?
If you wanted to seal it with a lacquer will the chard stripes seal n not flake off . I did one n sealed it with water base poly n it flaked
youre living in the past with on 13 stars on your flag ahhaha
