I found a file on Thingiverse that was meant for laser cutting but I tried scrolling it instead

It reminds me of a tornado and looks quite 3D although its really flat

You can get the file here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:389075

Cool, i inverted the colors so it is now a remove the black pattern, it might be a little easier to understand, at least it is for me.   :)

Does not look very difficult to cut but it is rather mind boggling to look at and it does look like it might be a tough cut to the eye. I will have to give this  one a go

its not an easy cut for sure, obviously depending on what wood you use and how thick it is. The one I posted was 3/4 red oak and the grain really made the piece what it is. I have people come to my place and spend a significant amount of time with it.

While not seeming to be tough it is harder than it looks especially when you get to the really intricate few that are really really small parts as they get to the twister, also the two corner pieces top right and bottom left should NOT be saved till last. You should cut those prior to cutting everything on either side. I almost lost one but saved it. I ended up using tape to keep a lot of them together while cutting the rest of the piece as they seemed like they could break anytime.

I would think that if the material you use is too thin it may not be strong enough
