Barb's Cube by Jose W. Diaz & John Devost

I collaborated with Jose on this puzzle design back in 2009 and after making a prototype, we decided it was a good candidate for the IPP Design Competition.

I never did make a run of this design but both Scott Peterson and Tom Lensch made beautiful versions.  It's not a difficult puzzle but is a real beauty when made with contrasting woods.

As a side note, the name of the puzzle was a dedication to my loving wife!
