A customer came in and ordered this. He did not say to keep it secret as he would market them or anything, but I still feel better describing it rather than sharing a picture.
I cut 1/4" Oak to 7" square with rounded corners for the base. He will attach a piece of 3/4" square wood dowel in the center, standing straight up like a post. Then I'm cutting 80 pieces of 1/8" basswood, 3.5" square, with .74" square hole in the centers. He will stack them up, hold tight with a clamp, then apply a printed laminated paper image onto each of the four sides of the stack. Then he'll use an exacto to cut between the 80 pieces, and mix them up in sort of a rubik's cube random way. Lots of other possibilities, different materials like acrylic, rastor the images onto the edges of the clamped stack instead of the glued paper image, and so on.
