I have wood turned two segmented spheres. I started with two dodecahedrons. I made these by first gluing a series of wood strips together starting with a darker wood on one side and a lighter wood on the other trying to create a gradient of color between the two. I then cut these strips into triangles. In doing this, I ended up with two different sets of triangles. I glued these in sets of five forming pentagons. These pentagons became the 12 sides of the dodecahedron that I wood turned into spheres. I used walnut, cherry and maple. I used the CNC to cut a rough sphere into the dodecahedron and with that I could then wood turn a final finished sphere.
