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!
I love that science has so many alternate routs.

Try something with a knott in the wood??? I agree, the imperfections make it beautiful! A knot in the wood could be amazing.
The final result honestly looks like something I'd want my shower windows to be made of. I think it wood be cool to shower in a transparent, wooden shower. And you wouldn't have to worry too much about mold getting into the grain, because it's partially plastic. Plus, if the panes don't come out as clear as the final result, then it works well as a privacy screen.
*MOSTLY* plastic, rather. As he stated in the video, by weight the end result was about 87% plastic :)

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.

While it is in the oven, just flip the entire thing once in a while, so that, gravity works equally on both sides. You would have to do the flipping more during the beginning itself because the longer you wait, the acrylic will start solidifying and wouldn’t flow as a liquid. Try this once if possible.

"And then carefully smash it to pieces" there's a combination of words you never expect to be used together.

“If you go manage to buy it... you might end up on a list” Don’t worry Nile. Once you get on enough lists, they start canceling each other out 👍
lol. its adorable he thinks he isnt on a list.
BAHAHAHAHAHHA
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.
@NileRed did you consider sanding the surfaces of the wood smooth before running them through the processes? Could the issues with mma be with impurities in the liquid or the initiator powder?
I discovered a property of certain woods today. I guess certain woods contain a strong, Fire and Water resistant polymer called suberin. I’m curious if you used a type of wood really high in suberin if the finished product might come out a bit stronger and more resistant to the elements. I imagine woods of this type probably have different biological properties and different lignin content so the whole process might be different. Just curious, wondering if Nile or anyone else could provide their thoughts on this.
That whole video is basically “I hope it will just go the way I want magically.” That never works though.
That's what keeps chemists from going insane... "THIS time it will work.... oh, i did THAT wrong... well then THIS time it will work". Then they just keep the cycle of prayer resolution until it is "good enough" :P

Wood at room tempreature conditions has between 8 and 14% moisture depending on the air moisture conditions. So drying does have a big impact on chemical processes. Several hours above boiling temperatures and waiting till the weight does not reduce anymore does remove the moisture till 0%. Epoxy also does not get into the wood, stabilization resin (for example turntex cactus juice) or plexiglass dissolved in acetone should work a lot better. you can also dye your wood with any color you like with cactus juice and dyes. Also be careful with your vacuum chamber lid... I had mine explode when it formed those cracks. buy a glass vacuum lid. thats a lot safer.
