  • Description
    the six pieces of this puzzle are all shaped the same, and will assemble into a shape that looks like a cube with the corners punched in, or perhaps three intersecting square prisms, all rotated 45 degrees. although color is involved in this puzzle, it is not so much of a color symmetry puzzle because the only challenge is to get the colors to match. the shape of this puzzle is achieved by truncating the ends of the pieces -- which leaves four very pointy corners on each piece. disassembly is possible on all four axes simultaneously.

After coming to the conclusion that my previous batch of puzzles (with the jatoba center blocks) had too much information engraved in too prominent of a location, I switched to this version instead with more minimal laser engraving

  • Notes:
I was experimenting with ways to laser engrave markings onto the puzzle pieces instead of using pen/ink however in hindsight I think I went overboard with the way that I engraved so much info so prominently on the side of the piece
