Noodling Box - Cubic Dissection

Here's the glorious Noodling Box by Cubic Dissection and Eric Fuller.

I've had this puzzle since new from CD, and it's so lovely! The size is much bigger than I expected, being the largest CD puzzle I've ever held. This is the Lacewood + Walnut version, released in May 2022. The wood grain is simply stunning in person.

The journey that this puzzle holds for you is incredible. As with SD puzzles from Cubic Dissection, nothing is what it seems, and the surprises that they built into the puzzle are a joy to experience. There's one element in particular in the solution that I simply cannot believe and applaud CD for, it's ingenious and so clever! 

The fit and finish is the usual Cubic Dissection quality. The seams and wood finish are flawless, and the tactility of the steps are just great. It's a true puzzler's puzzle box, and every time I re-solve it, I have the biggest smile on my face. I am selling to fund the purchase of an upcoming puzzle.

The puzzle is in wonderful condition, with only a few nano sized marks from gentle use that are barely noticeable to the naked eye. It has been kept correctly humidity controlled since new.

Noodling Box is Eric Fuller's latest puzzle box creation. Its name was inspired by the art of "noodling" catfish from their underwater caves. The project began as a simple trick box, but Eric was drawn to more exciting possibilities as the design progressed. The final creation is a complex, layered puzzle appropriate for intermediate and advanced collectors.

To solve Noodling Box, you must find the prize hidden within. Doing so requires convincing a very reluctant drawer to give up its secrets. Multiple layered locks and devices stand between you and the goal. Eric has come up with some new tricks and deceptions that will keep you fishing for quite some time!

Handcrafted according to our finest standards, Noodling Box was made in two variations; African Teak and Quilted Sycamore, with the other from Lacewood and Walnut. Fit, finish, and operation are sublime...each component moves smoothly and reliably.

There were approximately 55 copies of each variant made.
