Gentle Interlock

This is a six piece burr puzzle designed by Juno to make use of odd sized stock of American Rock Maple. The first piece can be removed in just six moves from the assembled state, making it relatively easy and suitable even for beginners of burr puzzles. Prioritizing ease of play, the fit between the pieces was intentionally made slightly loose.

Juno also designed puzzles with the same final shape but with level 10 and level 11 solutions. However, after making and testing prototypes, he determined that this puzzle with the fewest number of moves offered the most satisfying play experience, and thus decided to manufacture this version.

The main material used for the puzzle pieces is Fijian Mahogany. This wood varies in color and texture depending on where it was cut, so the pieces were intentionally selected and assembled to create a mix of different colors and textures. As with most of our puzzles, a lacquer spray has been applied, resulting in a smooth finish. Additionally, all edges have been chamfered to ensure that no sharp edges remain.

The solution to this puzzle will be supplied upon request by Burr Tools file format.
