Platonic Solids wood models
All 5 Platonic Solids made of wood.
Astronomy, Science & Physics teachers just as well as Geometry teachers like to use these classroom wood study & lecture models. A friend asked me to make these for his Physics class. We looked all over the internet and couldn't find any big like this, so I went ahead and made several batches of each shape. These forms were studied by Kepler in the late 1500s when he theorized that all of the then known planets orbited the sun in relation to each of these 5 geometric shapes.
