Electric wood art

Post by Pitchy »

First this is very dangerous so i`m not recommending it to anyone do your own research about it first.
The possess is call Lichtenberg wood burning you can find lots of video`s on Utube about it.
Pretty cool.

That's really different, when I first looked at it I thought it was a map of a river system. :? Mark a ❌and sell it as a treasure map and drive someone nuts trying to locate where it is... :lol:

I can see all sorts of decorative uses for this. Picture frames, display cases, or just anything that needs some art around the perimeter to add to the piece!
Don't think I'd ever do it to a rifle stock, but I think I'd definitely try it on some handgun grips.

Yes, electricity can be dangerous. So can reloading. Pay attention at all times and never forget to respect the rules. Lots of cautious electricians live long lives.

Those unique patterns could be formed on a set of revolver grips, then filled in with clear or colored epoxy for a cool and individual look on a revolver. 1911 grips, too. There wouldn't be any two with the exact same pattern.

I plug the transformer into a strip with a on off switch so ya can kill the power fast.
Main thing is not to touch anything while it`s on.
We just finished a pattern on the table we made have to light stain and ploly next. :)

As a retired electrician I look at the patterns, and can't help but think of how electricity travels paths across your body when it's shocking the heck out of you! I like it, yet kinda brings back bad memories too!

Great job on that table, Lenn. What Grizz said. Looks like drainage basins seen from a jet passing overhead.

Try filling the grips with a gold paint. The dark wood ought to make the gold really eye popping. An epoxy paint should stick well.

I think what the grips need is just more coverage.

Hey, the table looks like a map of where your door to nowhere leads. Do you think it would work n a Poplar walking stick? Pretty cool looking patterns.

To cold outside to do anything else so we tried the burning, the video is using 3/16ths popular board and it worked fine.
The last picture is 3/16ths paneling.
