I've been experimenting with a art design style called Lichtenberg patterns or wood Fractals. I use high voltage electricity to burn these patterns into wood.
I've been using Turquoise, Malachite & other crushed stone to inlay into the burns and create cool walking sticks, boxes & various other things.
Here are some photos of the bass I'm working on.
Feedback would be appreciated.

Wow, very interesting. Never seen anything quite like this before. I particularly like it against the natural wood, it gives it a very organic feel. Very intriguing, I think you're onto something! I'd love to see more.

Very cool indeed. Instead of turquoise inlay, could you do a red or orange or yellow, as befits the lightning look?
Cool indeed!

Love it!
I have red coral & I can get a yellow/gold powder. Not sure about orange...Originally Posted by rcarlberg

Whoa....I looked at the pics before I read your post and thought it was just blue paint. Very cool!

Looks good but don't do that to mine!
So I got back on track with my P-Bass project. I created my own pickguard out of cherry. Bought a Mexican Fender roasted maple neck, EMG Geezer Butler PJ pickups and now I need a really reliable set of tone/volume pots with the plug Jack. Any recommendations?

^^ Unlike Mylar vs Ceramic vs Metal Film capacitors, potentiometers and jacks are going to have zero impact on the way it sounds. Any decent quality units will suffice.

Thank you.

After many, many months of procrastination, I finally routed the Jazz pickup slot and dicked around with the hardware. I’m not a luthier, so my intent is to have someone at a local shop, who I’ve collaborated with on other projects, will get it put together and set-up.

I like it!! Good color .
Next up, a Steinberger styled headless guitar with aluminum (silver) inlay.

Interesting. Do you use resin in the burns as well? Pretty cool !
No. The bass has crushed turquoise and for the guitar I’m using aluminum bits.
