This is an absolutely beautiful piece.
Corners are so sharp I could cut myself if I had 2 more to juggle.
As for the puzzle...it was a gift for my son in university.
He fiddles with it when he can.
This is an interlocking puzzle that stands apart from most due to its unique design. Eschewing the standard burr sticks, this puzzle uses a variety of prongs to connect otherwise identical pieces into a pleasing, "hollow" cube shape. It seems that puzzlers overlooked the beauty of granadillo as there are still a couple left at the time of this writing - jump on it while you can, for a solve that requires reason and thought once trial & error has failed to deliver.
