I call it ---- "Impossible ?"
This is my latest decorative end grain cutting board.
Look closely at how the three members of each triangle are arranged (pick a starting point and follow how the direction changes - both horizontally and vertically).
Can this REALLY be constructed? Many say no, but I did! (or did I?)

You have created a very interesting cutting board.

hi big D
very nice chopping board, and a good interpretation of a triangle variant of the Penrose Staircase
yes you did make it, but it's all an optical illusion -- as the font of all Gen Y knowledge says:
an optical illusion consisting of a two-dimensional figure which is instantly and subconsciously interpreted by the visual system as representing a projection of a three-dimensional objectregards from Alberta, Canada

Looks great.
Do you have a 3D version planned?... Steve

would be fun figuring out an illusion that would be instantly and subconsciously interpreted by the human spacial movement system (which I think is principally the balance functions associated with the inner ear) as movement around a 3-D object.

Impossible world: Articles: Impossible figures in the real world
There are quite a few sites showing how to build these in 3d. They do depend on being viewed from one specific point, so the objects will work to provide a photo proving that you built one, but you can't pass them around t to boggle an audience
Cheers,

In for my chop
Does the design impact on the intended function of the board?? Clever though it is, would not this bending of reality tend to de-focus/couple the eyeballs to the extent that cutting and slicing on such a background might become highly dangerous. With each eye (assuming the operator has two eyes) going in different directions and at the same time, the brain straining to make sense of the background it might be difficult to maintain both accuracy and chopping speed. Reductions in chopping speed reduces kitchen efficiency (especially in a catering situation and is usually frowned upon but accuracy is essential. One desires to finish a shift with all the digits intact and anything that threatens this aspiration is a Workcover issue. Another potential long term usage outcome is eye damage where the eyeballs start to travel in opposing directions and stay that way after moving away from the cutting board design. Nasty, goodbye 3D TV and all that (upside is improved peripheral vision). The main issue though would be brain damage from the mind trying to make sense of the impossible. Once snapped by a puzzle such as this a person would never be the same again and would probably have to be locked away for a protracted period in isolation for their own and others protection. I know, I have hurt my brain trying to make sense of reality.
BUT. Great woodwork.
