I think it is a beautiful finish. It was a candidate for the finish on a recent project, but the process splintery edges on some ash test pieces. Seems best with flatsawn cypress or pine. Something with a wide grain.
Go For It! Looking forward to a build thread.
PS: do the burning outside otherwise the odor lingers in the house for weeks.
Zach,
What type of project you thinking about for this? I read that they use this more for outdoor applications. Siding, decking...would make an interesting looking dock or boardwalk.

This is the toolbox that got me started on that finishing idea. Looks just like the colors that you mentioned.
Yea, I hear that is pretty rare - too bad we don't know where to get some Tigerwood!I bet this technique would work great with tigerwood. I wonder where you could get some? You know, just some small pieces so that you don't have to expend too much effort.

Afterward, the wood was scrubbed with a stiff bristle brush made of what looked to me as a bundle of broom material tightly bunched and neatly trimmed. This effectively removed the black spots and left the tiger striping on the dark growth rings which was then finished with oil. So I was looking for a project to fit it into to.
