Waltzing Whales

This clever burr puzzle has 12 pieces, two of which are hidden inside the burr itself.  As the name implies the external whales and internal whales dance around each other a fair bit before the puzzle comes apart. It has been gloriously manufactured using bright vibrant woods (Wenge, Padauk, Purpleheart, Maple and Cherry) and the attention to detail is stunning – the whales have eyes made with contrasting dowels that have been shaved flush with the surface. It is this craftsmanship that brings us back to Pelikan again and again.

Difficulty: 47 Moves (27.6.6.2.2.1.1.2)  The brackets indicate the breakdown of moves to free each piece sequentially.
