Juno (Junichi Yananose) - Tornado Burr (made by Eric Fuller, 2010)
pieces rotate in concert by fours on two axes to 'open' the puzzle for disassembly. as far as burrs go, this one's a bit of a mindbender. i think Tornado Burr and Helix The Burr would get along famously.
designed by Juno in 2007. made from Honduras mahogany.

Brian Young (Mr. Puzzle) made the original version of this based on Juno's design, and he has a video showing the elaborate jig he used to cut the very unusual notches. production was 'somewhat difficult'. according to Eric Fuller:
40 copies made for sale; 15 of them self destructed during the process, with 25 survivors making it to market.
sent assembled.
