SnakeThe Ebony Snake is a  3 dimensional jigsaw puzzle designed and made by Peter Chapman of Class Menagerie Puzzles. The single, slender piece of Ebony wood is cut into 23 pieces. The fine workmanship and great finish make this puzzle a work of art. The dark shine of the Ebony wood used in this puzzle's construction is difficult to capture on film.

This puzzle makes a wonderful display on a coffee table. The way it’s cut makes it flexible - it articulates and moves like a real snake. The slender piece of wood used makes this puzzle move like water.The banded face of the snake is emphasized by the cuts of the puzzle pieces.

If you take it apart you have a choice to make: should you arrange the pieces carefully in order or mix them up?
