Imogen's Cube is a hefty burr puzzle in amazing quality! Kevin Sadler writes about it: "Imogen’s cube is one of Alfons Eyckmans amazing interlocking cubic designs which he names after significant people – this one was designed and named for the daughter of a puzzling friend. I had already bought this one from Alfons several years ago and have so far failed to dismantle it. I was astounded when I took this out of the box! It is stunningly beautiful made from multiple hardwoods. There is a frame and several interlocking sticks crossing each axis of the puzzle with 4 crossing one direction, 3 in another and 2 the final one. There is a lot of movement in this right from the very beginning and I have managed to get myself lost several times during my to and fro approach to solving these. On several occasions I have found myself with a stick a long way out and nowhere to go but then unable to work out how to get it back in again. The solution level is not astoundingly high but the sheer amount of movement and blind ends seems to have made this really tough for me. In fact I have yet to solve it. For those of you who are really keen on burrs/interlocking solids or those of you who want something truly gorgeous for display then this will be a must have.” Designed by: Alfons EyckmansMaterial: Purpleheart, Padauk, Jatoba, Acacia, Wenge, Maple, Am. Walnut, Zebrano This puzzle was crafted in Europe with absolutely fantastic quality. Each of the puzzles of Pelikan design are unparalleled in their class!
