Stickman (a.k.a, Robert Yarger) designs and builds exquisitely beautiful wood puzzle boxes and one of my favorites is his "Snowflake" puzzle. He has given me permission for the remake you see here.

The original is shown on Stickman's website: http://www.stickmanpuzzlebox.com/stickman-puzzle-gallery.html (it's "No.9 Puzzlebox"). As you can see from my pictures, I've added a criss-crossed lattice pattern that I think blends in well with the interlocking corner notches and helps hide the seams between the pieces. Also, the original design could be solved two ways, one of which was almost trivial compared to the other. So I made a small change that eliminates the easy solution.

The puzzle consists of six sliding panels (two of which are identical). I will ship the puzzle to you unassembled unless you request an assembled version. Also, I include a cubical plastic box that fits the puzzle exactly.
