Quasifuchsian punctured-torus groups are the `simplest'
Kleinian groups with an interesting deformation theory. I will show that the convex core of the quotient of hyperbolic 3-space by such a group admits a decomposition into ideal tetrahedra which is canonical in two completely independent senses: one combinatorial, the other geometric. One upshot is a proof of the Bending Lamination Conjecture for such groups.
