Building My Dream Sauna: Shou Sugi Ban Siding

It took me six months to build this wood fired sauna. The exterior is made from hemlock and treated with shou sugi ban (japanese burn technique). The interior is western red cedar. This is part 1 of my backyard oasis build. Plans for a cold plunge and hot tub are in place.
