But using a simple wood burning pen set can be challenging unless you have lots of artistic talent I do not thats for sure. Can I Dry Wood in the Microwave Oven.

THIS CAN KILL YOUThis video is for entertainment only. It is in no way instructional. This can trip the breakerIt happened to me.
So if it is possible try to avoid using wood frequently in the microwave oven to prolong its shelf life. These machines are very dangerous and potentially deadly if you make a mistake when. In the Fractal wood burning process you need to apply a high voltage of about 2000v usually done through a transformer using two probes.
This often uses a high-voltage transformer which may be taken from a microwave oven that has been soaked with a chemical solution so it helps to flow current all over the wooden surface. This instructable aims to change that. The fractal wood burning process is a technique of applying high voltage electricity on the wood to create Lichtenberg designs.
Wood burning with high voltage is a unique way to mark your projects and add a bit of flair. Wood burning can add a unique element to your wooden creations.
