Lichtenberg Burning: Mastering the Art of Wood Burning

Engraved portrait of an 18th-century man with styled hair and formal attire.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

First discovered by German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg and applied in 1777, the Lichtenberg Technique was used to reveal the nature of positive and negative electric currents, which has also inspired the creation of wood burning art.

Wood burning process creating unique black patterns on a wooden board.

Applied to Modern Day

Only within the last couple of decades have woodworking artists been marrying the Lichtenberg Technique with wood. This method, inspired by the works of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, can be highly dangerous; however, a handful of artists have discovered ways to control the madness to add a unique accent to their wood burning art pieces where appropriate.
