Materials needed

All three axes are different - the widest ring is horizontal, while the height and depth axes shape the rest.

How to build it

  1. Lay the widest ring on the long horizontal axis first.
  2. Build the depth-axis ring at right angles through the center.
  3. Stack layers toward the top and bottom, shrinking the ring each time.
  4. Keep the three axes symmetric - width, height and depth.
  5. Smooth the surface with slabs where the curve is steepest.
