The end of the video mentions an application: a composite material made from a renewable resource (wood). The idea would presumably be to get a transparent, strong surface with mechanical properties different from either wood or epoxy alone. However, the effort to process the wood, and the consumption of non-renewable resources highlight the limitations with this approach. And as was made clear from the video, the process is limited to pieces with thicknesses of a few millimeters at best. A lot of the problems described in this video arise from the mechanical properties of the wood itself. So, why not use sawdust instead? Its vast surface to volume ratio means that the resin should penetrate rapidly. Also, wood-plastic composites are a thing; they're made from sawdust or whole wood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-plastic_composite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-plastic_composite How such a compsite material could be made transparent is an interesting question with potentially many practical applications.
