Recently fascinated by negative thermal expansion materials which actually shrink when hotter or in contact with water.
I was pondering the possibility of making a filler for wood that expanded and contracted with rh in an opposite way to wood.
I emailed a scientist on a whim. Loved the reply

Doing some work on my video series on wooden surfaces.
The first video will be on wood and trees. The last part of which involves talking a bunch about ebony and making some drawer pulls out of old piano keys.
