The one in the middle picture looks like leopardwood. 

Got no idea how it might work to flatten them but steaming and pressing them might work.   Probably wouldn't need to be pressed very hard.

Probably not much point in infusing them but that vacuum dealy of yours might do it.

They are .030" thick. Might plump up to .050 with some resin, but it would depend on wood porosity and oil/resin content. I was not thinking of infusing these pieces, I would want to do a full length piece if I was thinking of using it in place of a fiberglass back.
Steam Iron is a great idea, I've got my own to play with :thumbsup: Still wondering how do you clamp it flat and  allow it to dry?

Tape it down onto a stretched out solid screen.
