Burr Puzzle
A burr puzzle is an interlocking puzzle consisting of notched sticks, combined to make one Three-dimensional space, three-dimensional, usually Symmetry, symmetrical unit. These puzzles are traditionally made of wood, but versions made of plastic or metal can also be found. Quality burr puzzles are usually precision-made for easy sliding and accurate fitting of the pieces. In recent years the definition of "burr" is expanding, as puzzle designers use this name for puzzles not necessarily of stick-based pieces. History The term "burr" is first mentioned in a 1928 book by Edwin Wyatt, but the text implies that it was commonly used before. The term is attributed to the finished shape of many of these puzzles, resembling a seed burr (fruit), burr. The origin of burr puzzles is unknown. The first known record appears in a 1698 engraving used as a Book frontispiece, frontispiece page of Chambers's Cyclopaedia. Later records can be found in Germany, German catalogs from the late 18th cent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
