Charred Oak Tables

CHARRED OAK TABLES -
FLAMED WITH
REAL FIRE

 

You love wood and want to give your home a fresh new look? Then you should take a look at the charred oak tables from the timber wholesaler “Hugo Kämpf.”

These tables are not just pieces of furniture, but true works of art created through a traditional craft. They combine tradition and modernity, naturalness and elegance, warmth and style.

THE SECRET OF CHARRED OAK

What makes these tables special is their surface made of charred oak. In this process, the wood is treated with fire so that the soft, excess, and weak parts are carbonized while the hard annual rings remain. The result is a relief-like texture that tells the unique story of the tree.

The wood is then treated with various agents such as lime, lye, wood oil, or wax to protect and color it. Charred oak has a deep and intense hue that can vary depending on the light. It creates an exciting contrast to other materials and colors in your home.

But how exactly does the charring of wood work? And why does it make the wood so special?

The charring of wood is an ancient technique that originally comes from Japan. There, it was called Shou Sugi Ban and was used to protect the wood from pests, fire, and weather.

Charring makes the wood harder, more resistant, and more durable. It also gives it a unique appearance and texture, turning every table into a one-of-a-kind piece.

Wenn du einen Tisch aus geköhltem Eichenholz bestellst, erhältst du nicht nur ein Möbelstück, sondern ein Stück Natur, das dir Freude bereiten wird.
