Tantalum Sample from Wooden Book
Sample from Wooden Book.
Max Whitby and I talked about publishing a wooden book/CD/DVD/mini element collection, but it didn't go anywhere. It would have consisted of a nicely engraved wooden "book" with a CD and DVD version of the website (for those with slower internet connections), and a set of nine safe, interesting elements in the form of cylinders, cast blocks, nodules, and the like. Think of it sort of like a mineral collection, except it's an element collection and it comes in a much nicer box. Here are a couple of pictures of the prototype:


This sample is one that is too expensive to include in the basic wooden book product, but it will be available as part of an add-on set of nine more exotic elements, which will be available to fill the nine spare holes in the book.
