This is a very unusual and difficult burr. It requires rotations and is the hardest 6-piece burr I have ever done. I'm honestly amazed that I was able to get it together at all!
I'm showing it in the assembled state because it's so hard to get it apart and back together that I didn't want to do so just to take the needed pictures. If the buyer is a burr novice, I'd recommend tackling this as a disassembly challenge, and if the buyer wants an extreme burr challenge, then I'll disassemble it before shipping it out.
I actually think CD's extreme level of tight tolerances and precision made this puzzle even harder than designed because if the solver didn't execute the needed moves perfectly, then it's easy to think the important moves aren't actually possible and a dead end.
It's in all Ash, and one of the only 2 oddball copies made in Ash by CD. Being in only 1 wood type makes it a harder burr challenge, since the original Ash/Wenge version paired off each Ash and Wenge piece together while the solver gets no such clues when assembling this version.
I
accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules.
But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that
preference.
I accept Wise for international buyers.
I am willing to consider other payment methods.
Shipping is USPS or UPS
Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or
Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First
Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and
message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.
