Scarf

The Scarf puzzle is a simplified version of a keyed Scarf joint. This style of joint put simply is made by notching two pieces of material at their ends. This mirrored notch is constructed in such a way as to allow the pieces to lock together end-to-end. These

notched pieces are then typically secured by some geometry of perpendicularly intersecting dowel. The trick lies in the disassembly of this structure. Do you find yourself up to the task?
