Just to give an idea of the scale of some of these pieces. In the early days the size of the piece wouldnt be known until the 60 pieces (or whatever depending on which piece) were fully mitered, sanded and assembled. After I built several of each I then extrapolated out the wood piece sizes to get a 6" 9" or 12" height finished piece.

Some people like several pieces in their collection so I like having relatively the same height across a shelf :)

More here on my website [link]

Any special orders on larger sizes just let me know thru the website. I want to do some bigger than a beachball, but I need it commissioned!

I am thinking that I must save up and purchase some of these in Cherry, the 9" size most likely due to both money and space constraints. I wonder, have you done any molecular ones such as a Bucky Ball - C60 molecule? Think Soccer ball pattern and you're on the right track. XD I could see a Bucky Ball with a central nucleus, like perhaps a Dodecahedron?

The truncated icosahedron is still on my 'to do list' (AKA Buckyball) because I've been so busy fulfilling the current orders! I'm really thinking it would be good in science as well as mathematics classes.

Oh definitely! I wish we had them when I was in school, all we had were 2 dimensional diagrams and basic wood or plastic blocks of spheres, rectangles, squares, pyramids, etc... **facepalms** You know one thing I thought would be quite lovely though? If you were to take one of your beautiful pieces, add a layer of rice paper (or similar) on the inside so you can still see the wood structure on the outside, then put a light in the center, such as for use as a lamp shade or night light. I think that would be quite beautiful and interesting, especially the patterns of light and shadow they would make against a wall or on the ceiling. **grins**

Actually, most of the 'woven' style sculptures get a free battery operated plastic votive flicker candle for just that effect when someone buys one of those on my website. It makes a really cool flicker effect against a white wall in a dark room.
As for the tissue paper idea, I'm remaking this one [link] a bit larger but with rippled plexiglas inserts (as a distortion) then it will have a LED color changing night light inside of it. That way there is no heat at all, and far more durable in the long run with plexi :)

Oh very nice! I do really like that one, it's beautiful. That would be an awesome effect! Can you imagine a teacher in a class room turns off the lights, pulls out one of your wonderful shapes with the light inside (and translucent panels), turns it on and they see the light and shadow like I mentioned though? Talk about "Wow" factor that, then the teacher turns the light on and they get to see what it was and learn about something cool. XD
