Any creosote on planks I will plan off, hopefully just the edges and ends to deal with
By the time you've planed through the creosote affected zone, there will be no plank left. It's an absorbed treatment, not a coating. You need to base your safety plan on the assumption that you'll be burning creosote.

More a shed question.. not bikes
I am planning to DIY Japanese ShouSugi Ban technique on reclaimed planks to finish off my cladding
I have 13kg propane gas bottle, regulator, burner, hose, jubilee clips, metal stands, flameproof gloves, 30mm wrench and prepare some gas leak solution. Definitely not the traditional method, no doubt loads of practice runs required with off cuts
different wood species char in different ways, so it’ll be pot luck and probably very varied results, the planks will also vary in deep by a few mil.. which will make the door jambs interesting, but I have a solution for that too. Any creosote on planks I will plane off, hopefully just the edges and ends to deal with
The plan is to deeply char plank front faces, edges and ends before fixing to vertical battens. Then preserve the planks with clear sealer to finish
Any tips from the forum before I burn down the garden fences and half built shed..
