Designed to accompany the Arthur and the Excaliburr puzzles that are also cubic caged burrs in the theme of T.H. White's “Once and Future King”, this exquisite burr consists of 8 burrsticks in 2 sets of 4 in addition to Merlin's wand that passes through it. A difficult solve, as you will find that the burr pieces move but are largely inhibited by the wand which can only move along 2 restricted paths. A beautiful piece for the serious puzzler, and stunning on display!
Made with wenge wood and either purpleheart or merbau for contrast.
Designed by: Stephan Baumegger.
