(I doubt you can play pool on this one, though.)

The author of the blog post, George Hart, is the proprietor of the soon-to-be Math Museum, and it seems he is something of a sculptor himself.  According to the article, this piece was on display at a conference held by the European Society for Mathematics and the Arts.

Poking around their website and admiring the the multitudinous mathart is a pleasant way to pass a little time.
