Project Information

Holy cow it's been a while. I moved last fall out to the country, and internet is pretty hard to come by there. Wanted to post some of the latest experiments, because I have been having an electrifying time doing them. Hope you enjoy…

These vases are made with walnut and eastern red cedar. the dark red vase is red cedar with a deep red dye. The top coat is wipe in poly.

The lightning bolt patterns are are made with high voltage current, and is pretty amazing to watch.

Lovely work Bill really love that full bodied piece. I was in the Neon sign industry many years ago & did a bit of playing about with drawing arcs using a 15000v transformer, you can get some crazy effects ( keep the extinguisher handy :)
cheers

Bill, nice to see your work again. What a unique technique you are using. It is a beautiful effect.

We live out and I know what you mean about internet connections. Verizon makes a small box that will connect your computers to the local cell tower. That was our best option.

@the dane… Thanks for posting that link. I hadn't seen it yet. Lots of good information on there. If any one wants to try it, be careful…. it's a lot of voltage, and is very dangerous. One of the vases I did caught fire on the inside, and I didn't notice for a while.
