Abstract

Claims10
A method of decorating wood, which comprises providing a pair of electrodes in proximity to a surface of the wood, applying a high voltage current of from about 6,000 to about 25,000 volts to said surface of the wood across said electrodes to initiate the burning of at least one track in said surface, reducing the voltage across said electrodes after the initiation of the burning of said track to a value no lower than about 1,000 volts and controlling the burning of the wood to obtain a random pattern of tracks.
