good-quality wooden burr pieces (notched rods). Each rod is labeled. The burr puzzle
pictured above can be made one hundred and fifty-nine different ways, taking six different
pieces at a time. There is a description of how to use this set in English,

known as kumiki (burr puzzles made to look like animals, geometric shapes or other
interesting things). This Teufel Burr Set would be a fun way to enhance your, or
someone-you-know’s, own exploration of burr puzzles. |
