I’m amazed at the attention that the ‘Soma’ design has garnered recently and this design is quite the charmer!
Eric crafted the ‘Soma’ pieces using Chechen and the familiar ’3-piece Board Burr’ using Curly Maple, making for a gorgeous puzzle!
Not sure how many have solved this puzzle without the use of Burrtools, it is fiendishly difficult. The Soma Cube has 240 solutions and this puzzle narrows that down to a unique solution, very impressive indeed!
BurrTools shows a move count of
4.4.2.2.1.2.3.2!
Here's Eric's description from Cubicdissection:
“Soma Burr is Rod Bogart's amazing creation which combines the fabled Soma Cube with a traditional three-piece board burr. The solver must fit the cube inside the burr; with only one solution, this is a tricky proposition. A delightful combination of packing puzzle and interlocking burr, Soma Burr is sure to become a favorite!
Construction of Soma Burr was done with extraordinary attention to detail. Each Soma piece is precisely milled and finished with full bevels. The fit is perfect; not too tight or loose, ensuring a lovely solving experience.
56 copies are available for this release, each signed and dated. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.”
