This beautiful design by Stéphane Chomine looks like a lovely little block of Purpleheart or Wenge which has been wrapped in a cross. Initially only one move is possible and the next move is extremely well camouflaged.  After that there is a very nice logical sequence to separate the puzzle into 4 beautifully accurately made pieces. The disassembly is a perfect puzzle for a beginner but an experienced puzzler will enjoy the slightly tougher challenge of reassembling it from scrambled pieces. - Kevin Sadler
