Hexagon bestagon! Love it! What's its purpose?

I didn't really have a purpose in mind when I made it. It was more about learning the 3d modeling software and creating something with a cohesive theme. So I guess, art? ๐Ÿ˜. It would probably make a decent jewelry box with all those compartments.

There's a travel board game called Hive that may be a perfect match.

This is a common design for dice boxes, looks great!

[โ€“] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's a bit large for a dice box at about 15 inches across. A smaller version might work very well though.

Beautiful work, very impressive. Did you finish it with beeswax for good measure?

[โ€“] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh man, I hadn't even thought of that! I ended up using a pure tung oil.

You chose well with tung oil, it'll harden unlike beeswax. Pure tung's often my go-to but it just takes so long to properly dry if you're doing multiple coats.
