TriRods Ball Puzzle by Pelikan

Similar to my previous post, this sphere puzzle was crafted by the talented Pelikan puzzle craftsmen from a mix of five different woods: Bubinga - Zebrawood - Padauk - Maple - Wenge - Acacia


Kevin Sadler wrote about it:
“Trirods ball is a lovely perfect sphere with gorgeous patterns of different woods. The joins between the pieces can barely be seen and the whole thing is a joy to hold. Just like the egg, the solution is not particularly difficult – it is just a matter of finding the correct places to put your fingers to hold it and and push/pull in the right directions. If you have it just right then you are rewarded with a beautiful sliding motion as it smoothly separates. After a few minutes you have 4 pieces which look nearly identical and which will only fit back together in one way.”
