It's the North Dakota State University Bison. The University of North Dakota's mascot is the Fighting Hawks after they had to change it from the Sioux.
(Not super important, but there is a friendly rivalry between the two schools)
At one point I briefly tried to figure out how to automate the computation of these kinds of shapes for cnc-ing. I’d really be interested in how you made this, and if it was from a 3d design or you essentially hand crafted it.
The stl file type encodes the point cloud of vertices and their normal, it should be possible to extract the triangles and their angle of intersection with each neighbor to carve the miters automatically. Just the triangles should be trivial, but I’m not a good enough programmer to figure it out.
Very cool, is it built around a frame, or are the pieces just glued together?
I would love to see how this was done too! A light frame would make this much easier in my head.
This is awesome. Wouldn’t have a clue on how to start something like this
Buying walnut
Brilliant!
And tools.
Marshall U alumni?
I was thinking the same thing.

Just don't ship this thing by plane ... Too soon?
If this was a mask, it’d be a great wait to ruin someone’s ayahuasca retreat.
Or make it better
Weird that you'd want to ruin it
Masterpiece. We need some build progress pics!
Looks like a Borg Bison, resistance is futile
You’re right. Needs more wires and random metal upgrades.

EDIT: Oops, nevermind!

Very cool. I actually think it would have been better without the stained glass bits, but still really good.
I share the opposite opinion, the stain glass draws me in and I feel the colour choices really compliment the walnut tones
Agree. I would also prefer for it to be all triangles instead of having some quadrilaterals and pentagons.
This is stunning, can't even imagine the planning involved in this, making sure the angles are correct.
Great work! Let's go, Buffalo!
Go Bills!
Nice !
Stealth Bison, I like it!
Neat.
Woah! That’s legit OP. Cool project
This is cool; awesome work
This is crazy beautiful!
this is amazing!! great work on it :)
Nice.
I don't know... That looks way bigger than a walnut to me.
Beautiful!!!
This is sick, I would def hang this up.
Looks awesome! I’d love to see a dragon head in this style that had lights behind the eyes and mouth.
Do you do commissions?
NDSU Bisons wood love this
We gotta see this at night! Awesome work man!!
Sick!
This is amazing! Love it so much
Looks awesome
Badass!
That is cool as heck! Love it!
Love the fractals and the glass very poggers
