There are things for woodworking, things for other applications and plenty of things to make you think.

You're welcome.
A lot of these items can be sourced more cheaply elsewhere.
Knowing that these things exist is one important benefit of the site. If a fellow ever knew what might come in handy later, that would cut down on the reading and recollecting. But you don't.
Just the other week I found use for a glass that can vary between completely clear and opaque by the application of a charge. Somehow that stuck in the deep memory hole. If it can be had at a right price justifiable to the project, it will materialize.

As others have posted, neat stuff but expensive. Other sources are much cheaper. For example Edmund Sci has liquid crystal sheets 12x12 for $24.95 instead of
6x6 for $20.79.

Ah, my friend, but there are a lot of things we don't need or can never be that are a pleasure to know about nonetheless. That's the free benefit.

I'm about to pull the trigger on some of that fish scale leather. Should make quite an unique guitar strap.

TB:
I think this would be really spendy and can't clue you on a source, though searching would.
But try a visual search of ("stingray skin" OR "ray skin") "samurai sword" and you should see the pebbled material peeking out between handle wrapping. It was also used for decorative effect in Japanese armor.
Very handsome.
