What happens next?
Is this a one and done art exhibit akin to a huge domino run or does the residue make a permanent image?

Similar to pyrography or laser burning where the wood fibre's are carbonised I suspect.

Looks like a pretty slow burning extruded grain nitro rifle powder.

As expensive as powder is and sometimes in short supply, as cools as that looks, I am not a good enough artist to try that.

I have a small amount of IMR 3031 in a can with $8.99 on the price sticker. Just bought a new 1# plastic bottle for $60.00.
