Statement
At first interested in 2D renders of mathematical objects, I focused on 3D printing of the same kind of objects. At the moment, I am exploring a more manual approach to make funny things.

A pentagonal hexecontahedron, one of the 13 archimedean polyhedra. Each face is composed of four triangles in 3 different woods.
I made a virtual model of it ten years ago, in Povray. Recently, I had the opportunity to make a real world version of it.
It is quite a great thing to finally be able to handle your dreams.
