Description
The Sapele version of Erics 2012 production of the Sun Puzzle. Eric said this at the time :
"I very much enjoy rectilinear puzzles with rotations...there's just something interesting about non-linear moves in puzzles which look like they should not be able to move that way. Bergmans "Sun" is nearly the platonic ideal of such a puzzle. No edges are rounded. There's very little structure to give hints. The solution has several dead ends, and even starting can be quite tricky. While this is not a puzzle that will take days to solve, it's definitely tricky and has that certain "something" that makes it a very satisfying discovery when you get the two halves of the disks to match up.
The construction of these was painstaking, with full miters all around and a couple triple miter joints thrown in for good measure. Individually glued on a granite flat plate with a machinists square, the result is very accurate, with obvious attention to detail. I'm pleased with how these turned out.
Each copy signed and dated; 36 copies made for sale."
******************************
This is one of a number of rare/collectible/hard to find puzzles that I (Steve Nicholls) am selling on behalf of Ethel Brokenshire. Those who knew Laurie will understand how well these have been looked after. The puzzles are being listed with modest starting prices, please bid generously.
******************************
I will be happy to combine shipping if you win multiple items. The incremental shipping cost for second and subsequent items is only likely to be a couple of dollars or so.
