Thanks for the kind words. This was an experiment for me. I’d been wanting to build a knot for a while and the cube diagram is something I’ve studied a lot as a mathematician, so it seemed like a natural step.

I showed it this week to one of the guys who came up with the definition of a cube diagram and now he wants one! I think I managed to learn enough from the process that I’m willing to try making one with some more expensive wood. African padauk, perhaps?

Very cool ! But ….

100 points to the gentleman with the red stapler. :)

I like it. a totally unique project, very well done.

Love it. The type of out-of-the box idea I like.
Maybe it’s obvious… but I see it – how are the two piece held?
If you want to share more details and dimensions, that would be great!!
Thanks for taking the time to post your projet.

Once assembled, it’s all one piece… one closed loop. All of the joints are splined miter, held with Titebond no run, no drip (I read somewhere that it’s ideal for end grain though I’m not sure it matters since they’re splined).

As for dimensions, all of the wood pieces are 1 inch square bars, and I kept a 1 inch gap between layers. Overall that makes it 9×9x9 (inches).

This is cool. The look just grabs me and you did a wonderful job.
