Thermally Modified Wood: The cellular structure of the wood is altered in this high‑heat, oxygen‑deprived environment which modifies the natural acids and sugars in the lumber to prevent them from being a food source for mold, rot or fungal decay. This process also makes the wood partially impervious to water, meaning it loses much of the natural tendency to absorb water going forward. A natural consequence of this process is the wood takes on a richer and dark tone.
