The process involves cleaning and preparing the wood to remove soot, applying a conductive solution, and sealing the surface with products like polyurethane, epoxy resin, or wood wax. For added creativity, stains or colored resin can be used to highlight patterns or fill voids. Proper maintenance, like regular dusting and avoiding excess moisture, ensures the longevity of the piece. Finishing transforms burnt wood into stunning DIY projects and functional art.
