A minimal surface that joins the edges of a trefoil knot and a flat plane. If you trace the inner edge you will find it is a single line that traces out a 3 lobed knot, known as a trefoil. This forms the basis/inspiration for many of the symbols we see around us every day like the Girl Scout logo, the radiation hazard symbol and even the recycle symbol. That you can use it to come up with a minimal surface is just cool.

Mike, the brain has difficulty with these amasing MS pieces you are sharing with us.
You realy have the unique ability to think, design & create in 3D.
I have given up trying to figure it out & rather spend time enjoying the look.
just fabulous work

I find it hard to decide which side I like the best. Both are outstanding along with the base.

Thanks all for the nice comments. Malcolm and Ronald, I got talked into doing a demo on minimal surfaces at the New England Symposium in Derry NH. We'll see how that goes, but I doubt that I will be doing any circuit. I have a full time job, and just do not have that kind of time, but thanks for the thought.
