Lichtenberg Pattern Serving Tray on a CNC
I'm going to show you how to create a Lichtenberg pattern on a serving tray using your CNC without the use of high voltage electricity. This simple project can use a single board or one with a variety of wood types. I will also show you how to fill the carved lightning pattern with epoxy for a colorful effect. MATERIALS Wood of your choice. I used padauk, bubinga, cherry, curly maple, osage orange, and walnut.

NOTE: If you plan on using any tool for a project please make sure you are familiar with the tool and all of the dangers associated with it. If you are not familiar with a tool then you should ask someone who is to show you the proper way to use it. A lot of communities have classes at local colleges on the proper use of tools and machinery. There are also local woodworking clubs that offer classes at very reasonable rates for beginners. I highly recommend using these resources for your safety and for the most efficient use of the tool. SAFETY FIRST Always wear eye and hearing protection. Always work safe with the proper safety equipment and guards on your tools.
