Wu Wei

Weave Description
Adapted from Tower of Tao 3 which was in turn adapted from Bative's Tao 3. Here I not only stacked the Tao 3 units laterally but also removed the three outer rings that would make it Tao 3. In a single unit, this wouldn't work, but with the staggered interconnection it holds its shape perfectly. I think this time I managed to make something pretty, rather than just different.

I tried to make a spiraling version, but it just doesn't work.

This weave, even more so than Tower of Tao 3, because of the lower AR possible, is stiff. Not as stiff as Captive Inverted Round, but bending only very slightly, like a spine or a tree in the wind.

1/4th ID 18g brass and 3/16th ID 18g copper.
