Electrified Wood ART

Electrified Wood ART uses a high-voltage transformer to create fractal figures in wood by flowing electrical current across wood soaked with a chemical solution. The tree-like markings created in this process are often called Lichtenberg figures, after German physicist George Christoph Lichtenberg, who discovered (in 1777) the electrical discharge patterns now bearing his name. When used judiciously, Lichtenberg figures can enhance Wood ART, but if not careful, can easily be overdone.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Very high voltage is involved.

Wood Availability

When ordering or commissioning a piece of Wood ART from Terry, please remember that some wood may be available immediately for production.
