Description
Parasitic Burr is an eight-piece burr in the disguise of a traditional six-piece burr shape, done in an ingeniously simple way. Six standard burr pieces interlock around two identical tetracube pieces which are hidden inside the belly of the final assembly. The unique solution is an approachable level 3, and figuring out the correct placement of the smaller inside pieces makes it a very fun assembly puzzle.

Construction was made in two different wood species varieties. One made from a dense and figured board of Jatoba with Ash internal pieces, and the other with Maple, Purpleheart and Jatoba burr pieces with Black Limba internal pieces.
