Description: I have made another segmented sphere. In building this sphere, I used a random pattern of segments similar to that used in many chaotic cutting boards. I cut the scrap pieces of pine wood into short lengths and stack them together to make a length of end grain material. Then I cut this at a 30° angle to start to make a pattern of angled segments. I did this three times. Then I cut the chaotic pattern into equilateral triangles and glued them into an icosahedron. I rough cut this icosahedron on the fourth axis of the CNC into a sphere. Finally, I finished the sphere on the lathe. I had meant for this to just be a prototype to play with and study how the patterns work, but it ended up being a nice project in itself so I made it into a video.
