Last time I saw a finish like that, was creosoted wood, had soaked into the soft grain and not the oilier, harder grain
when it was planed and sanded, one of the Douglas firs.
I would think the previous posts have it right for today, lightly flame grilled and then sanded is the way to go.

Something like this effect can be achieved by scorching, but because the wood doesn't seem to be rippled I don't think that's what was used here. I think the wood is merely stained.

If you look carefully you'll see what's now dark used to be the lighter spring wood. This is exactly what happens when you stain pine with a very dark stain colour, the spring wood drinks the stain in like a parched man in the desert and the darker winter wood barely absorbs it at all so dark and light switch over, an effect called grain reversal.

I would also consider that they may have used a combination of Costic Soda , it is very effective in transforming the appearance of wood , and will give a similar effect to the differing growth rings .

i think that it is a Japanese idea, or is meant to replicate that.

The wood is charred, sanded and oiled
