I have this very cool puzzle to offer.
This particular puzzle is new in the box and is no longer available.
Please Note: I have 2 copies of this puzzle listed, pic was taken of one for listing of both of them!
Made by Pelikan in Jatoba.

“For me, this is my absolute favourite of the batch from Jakub. There are several reasons for this: it's a burr and I lurve burrs, I lurve beautiful wood and the Jatoba I received is gorgeous (there will also be a Zebrawood version), I lurve burrs with captive pieces inside (Goetz describes this as the Burr zoo) and finally, this giant 6(7) piece burr is the next one in the group published by Stephan which I have described in the past as being a 6 piece burr based on a 3x3x8 burrstick. 3 of them had been in my top 10 of the year in 2015. Just like the Talisman burr, this has just the right difficulty level. There's a lovely maze to explore and a few blind ends to get caught in. This burr took me a few days to find one of the key moves – but eventually I found it and proceeded until it was in pieces – at one point during this the alligator comes out snout first as if to bite you for entering his lair – lovely touch as it even has a mouth. The assembly is huge fun as well. Working it out from scratch is beyond me but having spent a while with the disassembly a scramble and reassembly is a fun and definitely possible challenge for any decent puzzler.”
