Got the third egg done & jumped into the electric etching. Eager to try new things with this process.
The first six JPGs are of a cane that I originally did in '11 with just a carved handle. I always wanted to spruce it up a bit.
Tupper part with a wood burning detailer, just my name, and some geometric design. the lower portion I did by electric etching, the sixth picture is of me use hose clamps to apply the electric charge to the shaft.
The first plaque was another experiment I use an electrolyte of 1 cup of water + 1 tbs baking soda, I discolor the wood so I got thinking, as the burning is going it is drying the wood out, Not destroying the baking soda, so I just spray filter water on and away the burn went again, making it easier to bleach when done The second plaque I tried using a 9B pencil to make some directional lines, wet the surface, the electricity in the followed the carbon in the lines as well as branched out.
I tried burning in HDPE. I wouldn't work (or at least I couldn't to work), I cut a slight grove added a pencil line and it burns just on the line, Did it again and then sprayed some electrolyte and it just burns a mess, Lesson learned
Any C&C or question, feel free to make or ask.
Back to the fourth egg
