"It's the Volts that Jolts, but the current that kills!" as my old lecturer used to say.
Fascinating image, looks like one of the old Oak trees at work.

Ok l will bite is it AC or DC and what sort of transformer would give that sort of supply, l'm thinking you would need about 30MA  ::)

I would expect the initial bridging (burn) to follow the grain

Bryan Milham:
I don't want to give anyone ideas but the now old fashioned (tube type) TV sets have High Voltage transformers in them, certainly colour TV's produce 18 - 20,000V.

I can't remember where but somewhere I have seen an on-line video of a guy embelishing turned vessles in a similar manor. Not completely sure but I think he used a metalic salt wash as weel, to lead the electric burn where he wanted it.

BOB A JOB:
I'm certainly not going to try it , even when I'm fit enough, don't think it would do my Pacemaker any good !  :o  :o
Regards to all,

Bob.

I like the resulting effect but no way will I try it. In the immortal words of Cat Weasel 'It's all electrickery' and best avoided by me LOL
