I'd like to see some pics of furniture struck by thunder.

(I get the joke)

Lichtenberg (fractal) burning is (sometimes) pretty cool. I say sometimes
because...

SWMBO and I went to a crafts show a few years ago and there was a vendor
selling all sorts of "Lichtenberg" stuff.

The maker had done everything from simple panels that you could hang on a
wall like a picture to end tables to large dressers. We liked the simpler
pieces, but when it came to the dressers and other large items, especially
when they were filled with bright colored epoxy, we lost interest. The large
pieces that were just minimally figured were fine, but it looked to us like
the maker had gone a little far with some of the pieces. Almost garish in
appearance.

For those not familiar with the Lichtenburg process, there's about a million
of these videos out there. For entertainment purposes only (the lawyers made
me say that) ;-)
