Chicken Puzzle (2015)

RELEASED: 4.15.2015 PRODUCED: 38 Copies DESIGNER: Olexandre Kapkan CRAFTSMAN: Eric Fuller MATERIAL: Yellowheart, Cherry COMMENTS: This is probably my favorite puzzle of the update, and I spent a lot of extra time and attention on it. It's whimsical for sure, but still an impressive level 10 solution. The Yellowheart and Cherry offset each other for that pleasing chicken look without all the annoying chicken poop everywhere. Or do they? I'm very proud of the construction techniques used in this puzzle. The Yellowheart cage is made of only six pieces; each corner wrap around was milled from solid wood. The burr internals sit flush with the outer pieces with notch joinery, providing uninterrupted sidegrain area. Basically, a lot of time and effort was spent making this puzzle not only strong, but aesthetically pleasing as well. Relative to the time spent on this puzzle, I am undercharging. 38 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzle is shipped assembled.
