Snooky

Kevin Sadler wrote about it:
“Stephan Baumegger designs some very interesting puzzles and my favourite burrs from him have been his 6 piece burr variants with complex piece shapes that turn the puzzle into a sort of burr with a maze. The Snooky is just one such burr… it is just 6 pieces, but the basic sticks (Pink Oak) have been modified by the addition of small Wenge extensions. These extensions make it look very attractive, but block many moves that you might want to try. The difficulty level is not particularly high at 10.1.2.2 (which to me is a good thing) and the number of blind ends is just right. There are quite a few moves to start with, but once the beginning of the correct pathway is found then the disassembly is a matter of exploration. I really enjoyed it and had done enough back and forth that I was also able to reassemble it without Burrtools. All in all, a lovely addition to any burr collector’s display.”
