<html> <p><strong>Paul Lemiski</strong> is a Canadian carpenter from <strong>Canadian Woodworks</strong> in Oto which uses electricity to burn a wooden board to create tree shapes. This type of pattern is known as the Lichtenberg figure or even electrical arborescences.</p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0ovVVt0hxFc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <br> <p>To do this, a large electrostatic discharge is sent to the surface of the wooden board. At its contact, flames create and disperse on the support, creating branches and leaves.</p> <a href="http://imgur.com/LcskCHP"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/LcskCHP.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/Auu7yG4"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/Auu7yG4.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/XLMjQY0"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/XLMjQY0.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/81sGH7N"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/81sGH7N.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/wBzYwTk"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/wBzYwTk.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <a href="http://imgur.com/xeA1062"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/xeA1062.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> <br> <br> <p><a href="http://www.canadianwoodworks.com/">Canadian Woodworks Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/canadianwoodworks/">Canadian Woodworks Instagram</a></p> <br> <p><strong>The result is really satisfying and beautiful</strong></p> <br> <p><strong>For more theory on how it works look rather this video:</strong></p> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UVQmPdsdKsU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </html>
