Improved H Burr also called H Box Burr

Sold Out 2012 Limited Edition set of 30.
Original Price: AU$ 240.00 (AU$218.18 ex Australian taxes)
In January 2018 one of these puzzles resold at Haubrich Auctions for Euro 110.00

The goal is to disassemble and reassemble the 12 H shaped pieces into an interlocked box. All 12 pieces are slightly different to each other which makes the unique level 3-1-1-1-2-2 solution even more interesting to assemble.

Junichi conceived the original design in 1991 and Brian has always wanted to make the H burr as a Limited Edition puzzle but when making a prototype he discovered the original had a number of solutions, some easier than the one intended.

With Junichi working here over the past year it was a good opportunity to encourage him to rework the design. As a result the box burr was born by creating this unique solution H Burr.

The Jarrah (red wood) pieces were added to reduce the solutions to one only. This then also makes the inside of the assembled shape a void, making it a box, effectively a puzzle box that can be completely disassembled.
Wood: Queensland Silver Ash (white wood) with Western Australian Jarrah inserts (red wood). Size: 140mm x 140mm x 140mm Weight: 1.5 kg including packaging.
