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.

Notes:

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
