Description

This outstanding design by Jim Gooch was my Exchange Puzzle at IPP 25 in Helsinki, Finland. It was very well recieved.
The goal of the puzzle is to take the three identical pieces apart and put them back together. Disassembly is very tricky, and I have recieved comments by people speculating that it is really an impossible object. It is not; a solution does exist and after that you have the fun of re-assembly, which is every bit as difficult as disassembly!
Each puzzle is finely handcrafted of solid Black Walnut and your choice of various exotic and fine domestic hardwood.

Shipping cost calculated after the auction is over.

This is not your average burr. While it appears to be a standard interlocking "knot," it consists of eight unique segments rat...
