Frans had the stated object of making a six piece burr which looks slightly different than you are used to. To give you a heads-up we have at least given you a photo of the assembled puzzle but it is sold in it’s unsolved state to give maximum puzzle challenge. Your challenge is to create this shape from these six pieces. To do that you’ll need to solve the Level 8.2 burr. It can be done with a rotational move but it is not necessary to solve the puzzle this way.

The puzzle comes with a very clear step by step solution. The puzzle is made from Papua New Guinean Rosewood.

Size: 80mm x 80mm x 80mm
