willow wheel

thingiverse

This fixture enables you to assemble 12 or 24 cut willow tree branches into a hyperboloidal structure. Ideally, using two instances produces a well-defined geometry. It can also be used to create a magnetic loop antenna if n is an odd number. To set up the fixture, arrange recently cut willow tree branches in the manner shown in the accompanying picture. Remove most of the leaves to prevent premature drying. Next, submerge the branches in water for several weeks until roots begin to grow.
