Description: have tried my hand at another globe project. I wanted to experiment with making a sphere from a 20-sided object (icosahedron) of equilateral triangles. I laid out the map of the world onto those 20 triangles as a mosaic of scrap pieces of wood. I poured resin in the gaps between the pieces of wood that I had glued down to the map. Then I cut the map into the 20 triangles. Next, I cut the angles into the sides of those 20 triangles and glued those triangles into an icosahedron. I turned that object on the lathe into a sphere and it became an impressionistic and recognizable globe.
