Looks a bit hazardous but interesting... like the flash of flame at the end! I wonder what this does to the structure/strength of the wood?

Keep your eyes on Fransen Guitars on FB. He is working on a guitar using this technique. No pics up yet, but I saw him talking about it a week or so ago.

Haha thats awesome! I wonder what voltage theyre using? Looks like a fair bit more than a car battery!

from following links the other day I believe it's something like 2000v

they pull the transformer (?) out of a microwave to get that

Cool idea, but the electrodes need more work - croc. clips in the middle of the wood is pretty ugly.
