Dome Structures Domes can be constructed in various ways with vZome.
Twelve sticks and eight blocks neatly fit into the cubic space within a 30-sided box. The materials are Snakewood, Gabon Ebony, Mahogany, Pink Ivory, Olivewood, Ziricote, Maple, Jatoba, Yellowheart, magnets, and bronze.
The assembly that fits inside the box has the same arrangement of 12 sticks as the 12 bronze rods in the star/stand under the box. The eight blocks magnetically holding the sticks together at the corners of the cube are like the eight welded beads that are the points of the bronze Tetraxis Star.

The Kostick-Catcher This design led me to John Kostick, perhaps the most prolific vZome user.

The arrangement of 30 wood sticks is the same as the arrangement of the 30 bronze rods in the star that fits in the middle.

5-Twins-6- Dodecahedra - Download Free 3D model by jjkostick [a7119eb] - Sketchfab A pentagonal dodecahedron is doubled by reflection, making a “twin” that shares one of the 5 cubes inscribed within them. This process is repeated with the 4 other inscribed cubes, yeilding a total of 6 dodecahedra with a common center. Made with vZome.
This design of two intersecting pentagonal dodecahedrons will be a good one to try making in wood. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/two-dodecahedra-e0a9ac6f1fe4432ca709404299468043
