This elaborate laser-cut plywood “Spirit” model is one of many cool designs available from WoodMarvels.com. They sell PDF plans, EPS files, and parts kits. Caveat: This image, and pretty much every image I can find on their website, is a computer generated rendering. I’m sure their models go together in the real world just fine, but personally, I’d kinda like to see the photos that prove it. [Thanks, Rachel!]
