Watson’s Tri-Lateral Windowed Hexahedron - Martin Watson (2008)

These two recently acquired puzzles were produced by Puzzlewood - Bernhard Schweitzer.

First one was Patrick Major’s Exchange puzzle for IPP 29 in San Francisco, made from Cherry, and the second copy uses six different woods with a different species for each piece.

Goal is to assemble the pieces into a cube shaped.  The pieces are somewhat similar to ‘Stacked Sticks’ but these complete the cube giving it an open look.  It’s not a very difficult puzzle but once disassembled it can be quite confusing.  

With both puzzles side by side, it  gives you a better perspective of a craftsman’s wood options that I tend to struggle with on occasion and this puzzle would really look cool with each stick using a different wood species.
