I thought you'd all like to see my 'Kumiki' Elephant I received as a gift from Guy Brette of France...Merci Guy!! Cool

Description from Guy's website:  http://www.cassetete.org/

Un casse-tête en forme d’éléphant (un spécial pour Jean - il se reconnaitra) en châtaignier, sipo et chêne. La ménagerie continue après les Lions.

Design et copyright: Guy Brette

John, what an utterly awesome gift.  I am jealous.  Having made a run of Kumiki elephants in the past, I must say that I am intimidated.  You know that you have to put it on your shelf facing east for good luck.

Yeah, I swear that us so called pro's would get our butts kicked if we ever hosted an amateur puzzle competition and tried to compete  Shocked

Guy, also sent Barb a 'Star' puzzle which I'll post a pic of just as soon as I set up the 'tent', really 'classy' puzzle with amazing craftmanship!!! Cool
