HISTORY

Wood smoking

The process of ammonia fuming (blackening) to which wood is subjected has been known for over 30 years, which guarantees obtaining wood with high durability and safe use. Blackening was an accidental discovery made in England centuries ago. Under the influence of ammonia fumes from horse urine, the oak boards stored in the stable began to darken. This process from ammonia was called ammonia fuming. The method became popular during the Arts and Crafts movement in Europe, and the precursor in North America was Gustav Stickley.
