Burrbon - Tim Alkema by Cubicdissection

I just recently acquired this puzzle and it really is outstanding both in quality of craftsmanship and design uniqueness!


The scale of Eric's work is what makes him stand alone among puzzle craftsman, drop by Cubicdissection to check out what's available!



Here's what Eric said about this puzzle:


"BurrBon is an utterly unique Interlocking Burr Puzzle. What could be better than a six-piece burr? How about a six-piece burr inside another six-piece burr? There are several ways to build the inner and out burrs separately, but only one possible configuration assembles them together. The interaction between inner and outer pieces is what makes this an extraordinarily difficult puzzle.


The construction of BurrBon required just the right balance of tolerances to allow the inner burr to move smoothly. The simplicity of the pieces does not sufficiently reflect how much trial and error went into making it. The end result is sublime, with the dense and heavy internal Morado pieces floating into place inside the beautiful outer Lacewood."
