Pearl - Lucie Pauwels by Pelikan

I’m offering up this cool design by Lucie that was expertly made by Pelikan.

Kevin Sadler wrote about it:

“This attractive puzzle by Lucie Pauwels is sent out in a special travel conformation – it is a nice hollow 3x3x3 cube containing a nice marble (pearl) and held in a frame by long dowels that go through each corner along each axis. The dowels need to be pushed out and the cube dismantled. I scrambled the pieces and left them for a while to lose any memory of the positioning and then set to rearranging the pieces back into shape. This is a nice logic puzzle that shouldn’t take long for experienced puzzlers but might be a decent challenge for a beginner. I found it quite fun after the effort required for the others. Looking at a Burrtools file there are 2 possible assemblies but I have so far only managed to find one of them.”

I made a Box that is actually an outer and inner sleeve leftover from my ‘Tube It In’ project. Outer sleeve is Tigerwood with Padauk Slipfeathers, Inner sleeve is Padauk with Wenge Slipfeathers.  All of the pieces with dowels and ‘pearl’ fit inside the inner sleeve.

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
