I was having such fun burning some additional figures or trying to that I forgot to keep track of just how many I did. I'm guessing at maybe a dozen.

A neighbor who was walking by was wondering what I was up to. Gave him a demo and a double sided one I did today. I think he would like to give it a try but I'm not sure he knows enough to be safe. Told him to study it online and mention how dangerous it is and the safe precautions I use. He has an old small microwave he is willing to destroy for parts........

Found over the last couple of try's that baltic birch, well at least the stuff I have doesn't work well. The plywood scraps from the storage shelf work really well.

I've moved away from salt in the water and went to washing soda. I like it much better and it is working better for me and what I been doing.

One or well two of today's tests were conducted on apple wood branch material that I've been drying and waiting for some inspiration as to what to do with it. I like how it turned out. Keep in mind this is just 2-1/2" in diameter.

Didn't love the wood to work with on the shelf but burning now that is another mater.
