Abstract The purpose of this innovation is to discover if the method used by the University of Maryland researchers published on this link (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abd7342) is truly an easy procedure that can be done in a backyard at one’s home. This innovation will also explore whether there are improved transparency and durability results with different types of wood. The wood that I will be testing is curly red oak, white oak and balsa wood.
