Polyhedra
There are 5 Platonic solids all of which are represented here. The tetrahedron has 4 equilateral triangular faces, the cube has 6 square faces, the octahedron has 8 equilateral triangular faces, the dodecahedron has 12 pentagonal faces and the icosahedron has 20 equilateral triangular faces.
There are 13 Archimedean solids. I have only begun to explore these as turned forms, and may pursue some more at a future date.
These forms were all accomplished totally on the lathe using multiple axes to accomplish the desired shape. The surface decoration, including carving, pyrography and color are all done after off the lathe after turning is complete.
