Woodworking Project Filling Lichtenberg Figures With Acrylic Paint

Lichtenberg figures are branching tree-like patterns that are created by the passage of a high voltage discharge along the surface. I filled some of the figures in with acrylic paint, and finished it with lacquer.

Hi I'm Carl Jacobson from the Woodshoptv, I started woodworking with my grandfather as a young boy. I continued woodworking through high school, and started woodturning after seeing a turned project in a friends shop. Some of my fondest memories are working with my grandfather in his wood shop. Being able to share our passion for woodworking, ties it all together.

Thank you so much Carl. I wish I could be in Arkansas next weekend. And thank you also for showing "Jimson's stuff" card. He is a very gifted wood worker and a great inspiration.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+Alan Simpson Thank you Alan! Yes Jim is a great addition to the YT family. Take care, Carl

[@JimsonMakes]

Thanks again Carl. Glad the sticker arrived safely. I really like the red in the burn. All the best, Jim

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you Jim, and thanks for the sticker. Cheers, Carl

[@MikeWaldt]

Good follow up Carl...love the effects achievable, but I am more than happy to watch others use it....lol Take care Mike

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+Mike Waldt Thank you Mike :) Cheers Carl

[@TheLittleGardenShedWorkshop]

Great follow up Carl, thanks mate, Best wishes Harry

[@Bramsshed1913]

Great follow up Carl! the possibilities of what you can do with that seem endless. but I think a pass on that one for me as I don't think I would be safe with it... like absentmindedly scratching my head with a probe lol Cheers for now, Bram.

[@leksey7870]

Interesting hobby. Like!

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

Thats a really cool effect, Carl. Definitely a lot of possibilities with the paint in there. Have fun in K.C.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+Braxton Wirthlin Thanks Braxton! I'm in line boarding the plane to KC...lol seriously!

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

Nice! If you get a chance check out LC's BBQ, Arthur Bryant's, and Rosedale BBQ. They're all great spots. I was on a BBQ mission when I was in KC for WIA in 2015.

[@glenmckelvey5952]

You're right the paint makes it pop. A few lines down the honey on the honey pot might look cool . Take care.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

I think so too! Maybe I could do another one like the honey pot, but you have to do it before you put on a finish. Take care, carl

[@AnimeBoyVFX]

I would to try one on my channel!!! Nice

[@IBDaddyO]

Good follow up.

[@michaelpollina8034]

hello Carl, I am just starting out in woodwooking and will be using the lighting unit you have, I will be making keepsake and jewelry boxs. My question is should i make the fractals on the boards before assembly or after, I'm pretty sure there is no way to have the fractal turn around the corners.

[@QuarionL]

Thanks for the follow-up. You should figure out how to acoustically isolate your mic so that it doesn't amplify whenever you hit the table :)

[@dondaron]

If you think it pops with clearcoat wait until you try resin! on dark woods i prefer to colour mine vivid blues and greens, they seem to compliment the darker woods. when using lighter woods i prefer to leave them burnt with clearcoat or wax, never been happy with coloured resin on lighter stuff. it'll be interesting to see what you come up with.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thanks for the tips!!

[@cheryltaylor1322]

Do u sell the parts and let the buyer put it together?

[@jpwoodwork]

i just had a thought, if the baking soda and water mix stains the wood anyways could you use that to your advantage and add some sort of wood stain or food colouring in with it??

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+jp woodwork that's a great idea I'll give it a try.

[@jpwoodwork]

Carl Jacobson awesome, cant wait to see the results :) maybe a nice tree in the sunset :)

[@ryanmcdonald8709]

jp woodwork don't use stain. It's flammable and has a tendency to flare up. I tried staining the board first then burning them.

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

Did you say how much voltage is passing through the probes? 🤓👍🏼

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

It's 12,000.00 votes :)

[@woodturningjohn]

Funny pumpkins, that's the hardest part is figuring out how you want the board after done burning it ;)

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Right?! :)

[@PaulLockwood]

I would have thought the main reason for two probes was to have some form of control as to where it will start the burn.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+Paul Lockwood That's another plus, but you can move the other kind around too it just takes a little more time.

[@user-go4hx5lp8t]

Hello, is this how many voltage and current.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

It's the volts
