I’m a big fan of Lucie’s designs and this was one that I missed out on but thankfully I acquired it from a fellow collector.
Obviously not an overly difficult but it’s quite charming and one I really enjoyed and highly recommend!
Kevin Sadler wrote about it:
“This attractive puzzle by Lucie Pauwels is sent out in a special travel conformation – it is a nice hollow 3x3x3 cube containing a nice marble (pearl) and held in a frame by long dowels that go through each corner along each axis. The dowels need to be pushed out and the cube dismantled. I scrambled the pieces and left them for a while to lose any memory of the positioning and then set to rearranging the pieces back into shape. This is a nice logic puzzle that shouldn’t take long for experienced puzzlers but might be a decent challenge for a beginner. I found it quite fun after the effort required for the others. Looking at a Burrtools file there are 2 possible assemblies but I have so far only managed to find one of them.”
Box is crafted from Bird’s Eye Maple and Peruvian Walnut with an Ash Sleeve. Top & Bottom is Cherry. Slipfeathers are Peruvian Walnut/Yellowheart.
