But because wood isn't not naturally transparent, we achieve that
effect with some nanoscale tailoring," he says.

Just think about how small our shops will be in the future.

Nanoscale tablesaws, nanoscale clamps, nanoscale Kreg jigs. Imagine how
small a nanoscale trim router will be!

Is nanoscale sawdust a health hazard? Does nanoscale sawdust even exist?

eliminating ear muffs, chain link gloves, bullet proof face mask etc, etc...

Sounds like a solution looking for a problem. It will be a long time
before we run out of sand to make real glass.

Apparently the "transparent wood" is a lot lighter and slightly more
durable than glass (less fragile)

Whales aren't the problem. It's the weight of the water you have to
consider!

Isinglass. It was made from fish bladders. That's still an option, we have OTHER uses for wood,
but for fish bladders... not so much.

Same weight but without the whales, there's no point in holding the
water.
