Dodecahedron made of 20 Triangles



This is an all wood model made of 60 pieces of wood. Each piece is identical, with combination X,Y & Z miters so they all bevel to the center of the model. Everything is cut on table saws, sanders, carpentry tools etc, no CNC, CAD, rapid prototyping, laser cutting, just old school power tools I stain them different colors or just clear coat so you can see the wood grain better. These were common in the 1950s - 60s as light fixtures in a coffee shop (tupically in orange & white plastic) but I make these in wood, just as really cool art pieces.
