That's some amazing amount of effort!
I was hoping to see him contact the authors of the paper to get their comments on his methods, and in particular on the seemingly incomplete chemical treatment shown in the cut block.
He could try starting with e.g. 3x thinner blocks to ensure chemical treatment reaches the core, and then glue 3 of those together to end up with the same thickness as his single layer. Curious to see the bullet performance of that.
