Description
As his exchange puzzle at the 2018 International Puzzle Party acclaimed puzzle craftsman Allen Rolfs created a magnificent burr set.  Whereas others had produced traditional burr sets based on rectangular pieces, Allen set for himself the challenge of crafting a set of 22 leopardwood “star” burr pieces – pieces that require angular rather than straight cuts and assemble to form what mathematicians call the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron.  The pieces come in a specially made box that lists 53 different challenges - combinations of pieces to assemble into a star burr shape.  Note that the pieces have knots and other cosmetic imperfections that do not interfere with the beauty of the set or the listed challenges.  You can learn more about this class of burr puzzles as well as Allen’s puzzle set at https://www.robspuzzlepage.com/interlocking.htm#diagstar.

Condition: The third piece from the left on the bottom has some wooden imperfections on it visible in the third photo. The lid is also a bit faded. Otherwise perfect.
