DIY Batman Plywood Bench With Shou Sugi Ban Legs

Since I mostly had plywood lying around, I'd thought I'd try and see what a plywood inlay would look like. Using the Dark Knight symbol as the inlay.

I also tried Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese fire burning) for the first time, to stain the legs.

For more pictures and details, have a look at my blog Home Tree Atlas.

Cutting strips of plywood the size of the template. Then glued and clamped them together.

Used a jigsaw to cut out the inlay

Traced the cut out inlay onto a sheet of plywood, then cut it out using a jigsaw.

Glued together the top and bottom part of the plywood bench together

Made some simple legs out of pine. Cut out notches for it to slot onto the bench.

Burning the top layer of the wood protects it. I was doing it mostly to get the dark color. Need to brush off the soot after burning.
