Just in case anyone is wondering how to do this at home just be warned first it is dangerous and can be fatal if a mistake is made... One of the easiest bits of equipment to use is a welder (stick welder) with two nails clipped on each of the electrodes. As far as prep goes you can wipe the stock or furniture down first with a high burning point gun oil or use metholated spirit/white spirit as it evaporates quickly. DO NOT USE PETROL/GAS OR ANY OTHER MINERAL BASED OILS!
That is actually really cool. I never thought about doing that to a gunstock. I'm going to have to break out an unfinished stock for a Mauser and give this a shot.
While I can appreciate the uniqueness and the out of the box thinking, I just cringed when I saw that beautiful wood grain get all scarred up. It’s good though that we all don’t like the same thing or it would be a pretty dull world. Cool video.
Dang it! Just when I thought I have an original idea, I find someone else has already done it. and made a video of it, on RU-vid! It turned out great, thanks for taking the risk and showing the rest of us what can be done.
Fractal burning poses a significant hidden risk of electrocution. The American Association of Woodturners Safety Committee and Board of Directors strongly recommend woodturners avoid the risk altogether, by refraining from the use of Lichtenberg burning techniques. This type of art has become increasingly popular and deadly due to exponential popularity in the use of RU-vid type video teaching. THIS CAN BE DEADLY!!!
That has to be one of the best things that I have seen done to any of the brainless light colored wood stocks you completely changed it for the beter 👍👍👍👍👍
And to think I sanded mine down and stained it black....seeing this makes me mad to know that I don't know how to make a fractal burner so I can do this🙄
May I ask what you used for your high voltage output? I have been experimenting with different devices to varying effects. I have tried a microwave, arc welder, and battery charger. I feel your effect is what I am looking for, it seems to be the perfect "flow". Also, what wood is that stock to that marlin?
Have you done this with laminate wood stocks such as the colored ones from Boyd’s? I have a stock that I want to do this to, but I don’t want to explode the stock and ruin it. Only way to test this would be to buy a blank from them and see, but if you have input, it’d be greatly appreciated.
If you had the choice to drive a dented up rusty car that ran perfect or the exact same car that ran good but with a perfectly clean unscratched polished paint job which would you choose?
What fluid did you use for conductivity ? I tried a different power source and bi carb soda and water and get a different effect not as defined. And oil burner ignition transformer for power source?
@@bugsywatt thanks for the info Never seen or heard of one.... But I might have to do some research as this looks like something I could definitely get interested in
