We construct snub polyhedral forms using rhombi made from paper-backed wood veneer which are connected pairwise at corners using split-pin fasteners. Combining pairs of adjacent triangular faces into roughly 60-120 rhombi result in polyhedron with even degree vertices. The flexibility of the materials allows the final closing of the object into a roughly spherical shape, despite eliminating the dihredral angle between the adjacent paired triangles. The open lattice construction yields elegant chiral symmetric forms with visual movement.
