Dicey Box 12 piece wooden burr puzzle

Edward Hordern IPP27 Puzzle Exchange – Gold Coast, Australia. August 2007.  200 made.
Presented by Bill Darrah.  Made by Mr Puzzle Australia. Designed by Bill Darrah.
Original Price: AU$70.00

In November 2022 one of these puzzles resold at Puzzle Paradise auction for USD 75.00 (at the current exchange rate that’s about AU$115.00)

The puzzle is to disassemble and reassemble the 12 piece wooden burr so that all the decorative routing is symmetrical.

The puzzle can go together in two different ways. One way, without the decorative routing symmetrical, is how the puzzle is presented when sold. You will have to completely take it apart so that you can then put it back together with all the routing symmetrical. This is a lot more difficult than it may first appear.

A very elegant design by Bill Darrah who is well known for designing very difficult puzzles. As well as being a burr it is actually a box with an inside space of 45mm x 45mm x 45mm. Puzzle made from Mackay Cedar.
Size: 100mm x 100mm x 100mm
