Anyone know where to find right angled triangle blocks (not cut outs)?
For example:
Take a 1 inch cube and cut it from upper right corner to lower left corner. Now you have 2 right angled triangles.
Thanks

there's an arts and crafts store I often visit called "Michael's" that has all sorts of geometric pieces or wood available
you can also get right angled balsa triangles at a hobby shop that has model plane / kite / railroad type materials.
I just use a mitre box and razor saw to cut pieces and stain them for custom colours.
Woodworks Ltd. has very wide selection of wood pieces you can order online.
I believe they will produce custom items as well.[/url]
Looking at the Woodworks site always makes me wonder if I can invent a game that uses miniature butter churns or acorns for pieces....

An educational game about the life cycle of a tree.
I am not sure if I really understand what you asked. But to make a perfect triangle, you just need to set the same angle to each corner. I think it is 60 degrees.
Take a 1 inch cube and cut it from upper right corner to lower left corner. Now you have 2 right angled triangles.
Cutting a cube in half diagonally provides you with 2 possible results. Both are pentahedra.
These example images are not cut from exact squares, but they help to illustrate the difference.
1) A square pyramid. Just like it sounds. A pyramid with four sides and a square base.
2) A triangular prism. Commonly referred to as a wedge. This is the shape I believe you're looking for.
Not that this helps you find wooden bits at all, but perhaps the terminology clarification could help in your search.

Yes, I'm looking for a wedge, thanks for the terminology. I'm trying my hand at a block game (fog of war) and thought I would try a different shape. Thinking that it might be easier to see pictures on wedges (better angle), but I'm worried that it might be more awkward to reveal info on a wedge than a block.
