Hammerhead wood burr puzzle

Edward Hordern IPP28 Puzzle Exchange – Prague, Czech Republic. August 2008.   200 made.
Presented by Grant Smith.  Made by Mr Puzzle Australia. Designed by Junichi Yananose.
Original Price: AU$40.00

In April 2024  one of these puzzles resold at Puzzle Paradise auction  for Euro 75 and in September 2024 another sold for Euro 70 (at the current exchange rate that’s about AU$115) .

The object of the puzzle is to assemble the 6 piece interlocking burr.

After he designed this level 5-4-2-2 burr Junichi described it as a mediocre level of difficulty; that translates to difficult for most other puzzlers. However, to be sure the puzzle presented a worthy challenge, and so you can fully appreciate Junichi’s unusual design, we have packaged it apart and you must assemble the burr.

Puzzle made from Vitex (otherwise known as Papua New Guinean Teak).
Size: 60mm x 60mm x 60mm.
