Dodecahedrons and a Double-Twist Mobius
I know, I KNOW, a mobius strip is not a Platonic solid, but that’s covered by the “etc” in the title of this blog.
OK? OK!
Wooden figures of various types have been an interest of mine for a long time. Most of the constructions and carvings I have done over the years are widely dispersed to friends and relatives.
Here are three items I recently completed after taking carving tools in hand following several years of little or no activity in this, one of my favorite hobbies.

As you can see, this is a photo of a carved wooden mobius strip with two identical twists, and a couple of dodecahedrons, one from a piece of light heavily grained wood and a second from a dark wood. The dots of contrasting wood imbedded in the surfaces of the dodecahedrons add a bit of interest to the otherwise common Platonic solid.
That carving isn't actually a mobius strip :( the two sides and edges are seperate from eachother. It looks really cool though, Good job :)
