A few years ago I tried making transparent wood and it kind of worked. The pieces that I made were somewhat okay, but I was never really happy with the result. I finally decided to try it again though!

I did a short project on this for my chemistry class! In my research I learned a lot about delignification, etc., but I was still pretty confused on how the process worked. The articles and papers I read made it seem really simple and I thought there must be something I was missing. This video would have been super helpful if I had found it. Edit: however, I will say that the process I learned about specifically didn’t remove the lignin to avoid encountering structural issues with the wood after having like half its components removed. Instead, they applied a wash of some sort of acid or base (I think? It’s been a while and I don’t quite remember) and left the wood in the sun for a period of time. This was supposed to make the pigment inside the lignin transparent instead of removing the lignin in its entirety. This is the part I was confused about, because it seemed deceptively simple. I’d love to see a video on this process, to see if it really is that simple!

Two years later I'm scrolling through the comments looking for someone suggesting that you sand the wood pieces (dry, very fine grit, always with the grain never against) before and after bleaching them to maybe avoid some of those finish issues later on. Polishing the plastic surface at the end made the piece itself beautifully smooth and shiny, but I suspect the raised wood grain inside the plastic is causing a lot of the haziness and contributing to the initial rough texture of the piece coming out of the oven. You're not really casting acrylic around the wood so I'm not entirely sure if the process would benefit from containing the acrylic goo to keep the wood submerged before curing it, but my gut says it wouldn't hurt to try.

You could also try to spray the plates and rub the sprayed sides against each other. Honing them beforehand would probably improve the result. To catch the excess polymer you could use peel ply and create a vacuum between the plates to squeeze it out.

Honestly this isn't entirely untrue. If you are somebody like codyslab and are on every watchlist available and then some, even if (and when) you do get a visit from the FBI I suspect it's a more casual affair than it might be if you were only on lists related to, say, potential nuclear weapons or dirty bombs. When you've got a well-rounded list of suspicious activities, it's clearer that you're just exploring and messing around rather than plotting a terrorist attack.
