Our carbon steel garden spade is ready to go to work. Wooden, Shou-sugi-ban handle. Shou-sugi-ban is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation that dates back to the 18th century. Wood is preserved by burning it black. The burning process creates a layer of carbon resulting in an elegant finish that protects wood from the elements. Yup, that's pretty damn cool.
