Beginnings
About Fractal Burning
About Fractal Burning
I started by fractal burning a walking staff I had made for myself 45 years ago. I had added a 2" chrome steel ball some time ago for aesthetics and defense. Now, with the fractal burns it was indeed beautiful and unique! Folks thought it was so extraordinary I decided to make more. Now I make the Lightning Staff topped with a chrome steel ball, a hollow brushed stainless steel ball or a threaded insert with a sports camera mount and phone mount. Also, check out my fashionable Lightning Canes, Lightning³ and Lightning Charcuterie items!
About Fractal Burning
About Fractal Burning
About Fractal Burning
Fractal burning is the art of creating lightning like burns in wood using high voltage electricity and an electrolytic solution. These stunning, randomly branching patterns were first discovered by German physicist Georg Lichtenberg in the 1770’s. Lichtenberg patterns are found throughout nature and especially where flowing water or electricity are involved in the constant search for the least resistant path.
Fractal burning is considered dangerous and I do not condone some methods of many YouTube artists. I use a fairly low current (Amperage) power source and have a number of safety features and protocols in place.
Process/Finish
About Fractal Burning
Process/Finish
Lightning Staves and Canes are hand carved from carefully chosen F1F or Select Grade hardwood planks. Lightning³ is a solid 5” cube made of birch resting on a painted birch stand. I purchase only the highest quality thick Bamboo products for my Lightning Charcuterie Boards and Coasters. Finish is paramount to me. Everything gets sanded very smooth and is then finished with multiple coats of Tung Oil which has been used to seal and finish wood for millennia. Tung Oil is somewhat viscous and has to be reduced to achieve proper penetration into the wood. Where appropriate I use food grade citrus oil as a reduction agent for safe food contact.
