This Burr Puzzle consists of twelve identical notched rods. Once the
pieces are disassembled you will see why it is called Lucifer’s Friend. It is a very
difficult puzzle requiring advanced burr puzzle solving methods. This
puzzle is not appropriate for a person inexperienced with Burr Puzzles.
Instructions, a series of assembly diagrams, are included.
This puzzle, while it works well, is not particularly well made from a
woodworker’s standpoint. Some of the pieces show “tear-out” at the ends,
indicating that they were cut too fast or that a dull blade was used. Unfortunately, these
cosmetic flaws diminish the “display” value of this very difficult puzzle.
