Hi William and thank you, the design was burnt on with a pyrography machine and NOT using the Lichtenberg method as that just would scare the pants off of me.

haha people do get a bit distant to me when i mention i play with electrics and water! Do not fear, I shan't be posting anything on here (unless you want me too) I normally respond by saying it is up to the individual whether or not they do something in their own sheds. My wife however wants to give pyrography a go. she had a go at a turner friend of mines house. My hands would be killing after a few minutes as I have carpel tunnel in both hands. :(
