I foresee my next few weeks being filled with sandpaper, before I need to worry too much about glue

Lekker Meneer!

There is a mad man who goes by the screen name MetalRulz4ever who has done some un real Shou Sugi Ban builds on here, and he is also on Facebook as No Naim Brand where you can see a gallery of his work. I'm sure he'd be happy to advise, failing that there's a lot of tutorial stuff on YT.

Best of luck with it mate, sing out if you need help or have questions.
