I have made the planet Mars from a dodecahedron made out of cherry wood. The dodecahedron is made out of pentagons that have the terrain of Mars carved into them. I put the pentagons together to make the sphere of the planet. I did a similar project about the moon a few months ago and in that project I had trouble keeping the seams between the pentagons small. In this Mars project, I was able to hold the pentagons with a mortise and tenon on my table saw jig. This allowed me to cut the angle between the different pentagons along the sides of each pentagon by holding them from the center instead of from the edge. This minimized the seam between each of the pentagons creating the final form of Mars.
