Icosahedral globes
Icosiglobe v2
Crafted: May 2025 Wood: Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), Obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon) Finish: Danish oil + Dark wax Dimensions: 11.5cm / 4½"
Version 2 of the Icosiglobe i.e. a globe in the shape of an icosahedron, using the icosahedral projection map a.k.a. the Dymaxion projection.
The 20 triangles are cut and engraved with a laser machine, then beveled and glued by hand.
In this version, I added internal magnets that allow it to levitate on the new magnetic stand. The stand is made of layered obeche and walnut wood.
