[@MelissaTodd-yz4vs]

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.

[@MarioMartinez_]

I think pre-sanding the piece of wood to an extremely fine surface almost like glass-like touch will help the final product. Also, the polymerization of Methacrylate is affected by the amount of oxygen in the solution. If you vacuum your MMA before you mix it with the initiator and heat you will have a faster and even polymerization, meaning that you will have always the same rate of polymerization in the proportion to the amount of initiator. When vacuuming the wood under the MMA try to keep the wood immersed as the vacuum will create bubbles inside the wood and it will float. Something small but heavy on each of the four corners will keep the piece of wood under the methacrylate during the vacuum. Hope that helps

[@artfcialtv]

@Pud Pete Art can be also a basic synonym for skill or mastery, not commonly used as that, but it’s still a possibility. Well, as many other branches of study. Chemistry and art have their ideological foundations on Philosophy, both are processes with a goal, that require experimentation to be achieved. They’re kinda like distant cousins. While chemistry is much more rigorous than art, it still requires creative decisions, where to start, what to do, how to achieve it, what failed, how to improve. The clockworks moving and the kinda, connect the dots is still there. Probably thanks to Arts nebulous definition it’s much easier to connect it to anything else. For example, in the Jungian model of Archetypes, usually the concepts of the artist and the inventor are equated under the “creative”. And science and art seem to keep crossing paths involuntarily. Since they both revolve around Ideas! Ah, that’s the word I was looking for, ideas! Sorry to bore you, I happen to be a fan of both art an science, though in the side of science I tend to be only brilliant on the conceptual side, sadly. More of a “to much” mess in the practical and theoretical departments. Not that much of a problem in the side of art, though still, a flaw. Kind of like a grotesque mass of ideas that simplified could work, but keep growing into these maximalist amalgams of concepts. Ah, If only Mad scientist was a profession. But alas. Ah, look, the whole maximalists thing happened to this comment, how, unsurprising.

1. Use thinner pmma, or other type of resin. It should be viscous like water. 2. Put weight on submerged material or it will float cuz of bubbles underneath. 3. Use two step vacuum pump. 4. When vacuming , pump all air out, then let air in and let the resin flow in , its much denser than air , need time to travel through capilars of wood. 5. Move the material in the resin to pressure chamber. Any pfessure higher than 0 will be useful but higher is better. Let it sit for few hours maybe days. Then do polimerisation. Ive stabilized tones of wood. Good luck!

I imagine a coffee table out of transparent wood being one of those hyper-expensive art-furniture pieces in 5-star hotel rooms.

[@Merennulli]

It's probably pretty straightforward to do. Scale up the process with longer, slower lignin removal process for wood thick enough to be a table top. Use some heavily gnarled piece of wood so the texture that remains is more interesting and pronounced. Go back to traditional epoxy for durability and color control (ironic, given the yellowing, I know). Mix a very thin amount of blue dye in a large vat of the epoxy to offset the yellowing. I'm going off his process + the videos of people making the artistic epoxy-wood tables and how you handle yellowed clothing with bluing (a faint blue dye that used to be commonly used in laundering). I don't actually know for certain if this would work.

[@huleyn135]

@@Merennulli Considering there is almost nowhere that sells actual transparent wood furniture in mass production, it's probably not feasible. Almost all "transparent wood" furniture is actually just plexiglass made to look like wood. Apparently a few months ago a better process was found to make transparent wood easier? Maybe it'll scale up soon. It'd be cool to have actual transparent wood furniture.

[@Merennulli]

@@cutieowl347 Full transparency wouldn't be desirable anyway. At that point they already have glass and acrylic that are cheaper. The reason an expensive artist-made table would be made of transparent wood would be to show off the grain and texture. A lot of art is an intentionally imperfect result.
