    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.
