Mobius Ring
This is one of my favorite little pieces.  It is a Mobius ring, which in concept is a one-sided strip.  It is like what you get if you take a strip of paper, give a half-twist, and join the ends to form a ring.  If you place a pencil on the surface and draw a line along the ring, you will come back to where you started the line.  Unlike the Klein bottle, this one I could actually carve.  I used Kingwood, which is a very hard wood.  It also finishes very nicely when sanded with a fine grit.  Like most of my little carvings, this one was just waxed.
