Make wood transparent in your own backyard

[Winehole23]

Starting with planks of wood a metre long and one millimetre thick, the scientists simply brushed on a solution of hydrogen peroxide using an ordinary paint brush. When left in the sun, or under a UV lamp for an hour or so, the peroxide bleached out the brown chromophores but left the lignin intact, so the wood turned white.

Next, they infused the wood with a tough transparent epoxy designed for marine use, which filled in the spaces and pores in the wood and then hardened. This made the white wood transparent.

Getting wood that is 1 mm thick is the most difficult thing in this process.

it seems pretty darn cool, but that’s some pretty thin wood.
I wonder how difficult it is to get Oak 1 mm thick...
