I'm speechless... This is amazing!
Question: How many parts make up this puzzle? How big is it? What is your next idea?

Beautiful puzzle! How well does it turn? Is that a jumbling move, or does a Pentultimate turn just include an entire corner turning section in it?

When I see the first pic, "Oh, this kind of cutting, nothing new"
When I see the second pic, "Isn't this the pentagram? Still nothing new at all~"
When I see the third pic, "........"
Face & Vertex Turning, both Deep Cut! Oh my god!

Wow, that is absolutely amazing!
What a beautiful puzzle, incredible combination of cuts.
I was similar to otis, saw the first couple of pictures and thought, yeah, it's interesting...
Saw the 3rd adn 4th pictures ... 
Great puzzle!

Wow!! When I saw in the New puzzles section something new from you, I knew it was going to be very good! Excellent!
I hope we can see a video of this (also the RexSkewb 2x2)

Wow! I knew it would be face and corner turning but I thought it would be pentagram and megaminx when I saw the cuts! Well done sir, you have truly amazed me with your sorcery.

Shapeways? Hell yeah, but contact Calvin as well.. it looks cool enough to maybe get mass produced!
Very nifty looking puzzle, well done

This is phenomenal but I wonder: Are any Pentultimate moves ever required for solving the puzzle entirely even if it was scrambled including these moves?

My reaction...
First Picture. Looks like a Helicopter Dodecahedron in the solved state. Nothing new there...
Second Picture. No its vertex turning. Is that new? Nope, that has been done before too. Here.
Third Picture. Oh.... it can turn like a Pentultimate too. Kewl!!! And now this is something new.
Forth Picture. WOW!!! It looks like you can make both types of moves at the same time. Seeing as one corner is completely contained on one half of the puzzle I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Fifth Picture. Ok... color me surprised!!! I'm not even sure what I'm looking at. The Pentultimate doesn't jumble and I don't believe the Pentagram does either. Do the combination of these cuts allow jumbling in some weird way? At the moment I have no clue what turns were made to get the puzzle into that state or if its even possible with just the types of turns seen in the earlier pictures.
I'd LOVE to see a video.
Carl
P.S. I looked at some more pictures of the Pentagram here. Looks like that does jumble on its own so I assume that is what I'm seeing here.
