I recently got this puzzle from a fellow canuck on the puzzle discord and it’s an absolutely gorgeous puzzle crafted by Brian! This was Andrew’s entry in the 2019 IPP Design Competition and most definitely packs a punch!
Zen Puzzler has a really nice Blog review!
Here's what Brian said: Please visit Wood Wonders to stay informed of his wonderful puzzles!
“This little gem is definitely a challenge. This is probably similar in difficulty to GalacTIC (previously offered) in terms of moves and rotations. At one point you are making 26 moves to add the next piece! Extra joinery was needed for this one too. Lap joints and brass pins keep everything in order. There are a few different versions but they all use the same woods, no choices are available. Each piece is made from a single species, they are just used differently throughout the batch. A variety of exotic woods are the woods in these.”
Woods are Olivewood, Bocote, Benge, African Avodire, Canarywood, Movingui with Brass Pins
