Enneagons, Decagons, and Bowties! While searching for unique complex polyhedrals, I stumbled across this site displaying examples of new Symmetrohedra. I knew immediately I had to take a crack at the Bowtie Icosahedron. Unfortunately, all I had to go off of was the picture, and didn’t have the luxury of having any if the dihedral angles. I figured out the shape in Fusion 360 pretty quickly, and here is the result. Romark colorshop plywood for the faces.
Love the colored wood for this design.
Coooooooooooolllllllllll. Like it.
Wow, amazing! I’m too cheap to buy all those fancy screws…
Great work! How large is the completed design?
9 inches diameter.
Super cool , makes me wish i had a 3d printer
What products did you use to stain the wood?
No stain. Used colorshop wood from rowmark, so it comes pre-stained.
Ah no way, I had no idea that even existed lol.
FYI, it’s pricey. I’ve had a stack that I bought a long time ago just rotting on my supply shelf, saving it for a special project. Figured this was as good as any.
Your wrist muscles must be impressive…or do you use a power screwdriver for doing all of these? 
Power for sure.
Love this in the stained material! Very cool design.
I have a pile of this wood, my plan has been to make boxes for Tinkertoys to match the color of the sticks. Just haven’t had the time to decide what kind of boxes we want.
