Turtle teaser puzzle

[bubbantenn]

Made this today for my cousin's husband. This is the second one of these I've made, from the SSWC Spring 2011 Issue 42.
I don't make mine exactly according to the instructions in the magazine. Mine is bigger and I stack mine, then use the cut off pieces of the feet and tail from my upper section to glue to the bottom of the lower section, just to give it a bit more depth. I also use contrasting stains and use my wood burner to help hide the cut lines to make it more of a challenge.
Thanks for looking. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Well look at you Bubba, going off on a puzzle redesign of your own. Looks great.
Now wouldn't those wooden spoons you make be nice
to stir some turtle soup........

I like your idea of woodburning the edges and making it more 3D by gluing the cut off pieces on the bottom. I wish I had thought of them when I cut mine last year. It would have made it much nicer.
