I've done lichtenberg wood burning on household furniture before. What do y'all think about doing it on rifle and shotgun wood?

Pretty cool. What did you use to burn the designs in?

It uses a microwave transformer. You brush on a baking soda and water mixture onto the wood. Then use two leads on different locations on the wood. Turn on your Machine and watch as the circuit tries to complete itself, arcing towards eachother. My setup uses about 2000 volts.

And I didn't make these examples. I've done it on tables and chairs etc.

Looks pretty neat. Is it possible to draw designs and then burn them in or is it just kind of random?

It's kinda hard to control the direction of the current flow. I can kinda get it to go in a general direction but it will take the path of least resistance to ground. I actually got hit pretty hard today while doing this. Felt like a cattle fence.

Slather a piece of wood with peanut butter and put where the squirrels can find it. Instant fried squirrel. (tastes just like chicken)
