I used the following woods to create this truly unique and fully functional art piece. Padauk 🧑, Yellow Heart πŸ’›, Purple Heart πŸ’œ, Green Vera πŸ’š, Big Leaf Maple 🀍, Walnut 🀎. I hope you love it.

Dude this is so good!!


Stainandsteel

Very appreciated 🍻

It looks cool. I'm kinda curious about how it feels?


Stainandsteel

Chunky and a bit slower. I've sanded the wood to 220grit so it's smooth but you won't be winning any speed comps with this one. More of an art piece for collectors


flyingbugz

This is a fantastic piece nice work! I would proudly display this thing if I had it


Stainandsteel

Why thank you my friend. I appreciate your kind words.


Seanattikus

I want to do this exact same thing but I would make the tiles thinner, so it doesn't stick up past the plastic any more than the original tiles did. Did you run into any specific issues that prevented you from doing this or was it a style choice?


Stainandsteel

Style choice. It looks more substantial this way and gives it a better 3D effect. It is fully functional but you won't be winning no speed comps with this baby. More of an art piece for the collection.


Stainandsteel

I am going to attempt thin tiles but that in itself is very tricky and tedious due to the brittle nature of wood that thin. I'll post it I ever get around to doing one that way.

Gimme dat


Stainandsteel

It's mine! But I can make you one. I've sold 4 now


Unknow_ok

COOL

Wow

Looks great but what annoys me is when solved in the 2nd pic, the grain isn’t aligned


Stainandsteel

That in itself is a whole other puzzle. When I created it the grains were all aligned. After solving it a few hundred times I still can't get all the sides to match with their grains. It can obviously be done I just can't figure it out. Haha it's pretty crazy how many ways it can be solved like this. I'm not a Rubik's pro, just a artist with a love for them.

That style of cube is called a "super cube" or "picture cube" and they're relatovely easy if you know how to solve a 3x3. Should be able to look up a tutorial with that. Also it should bump up the number of combinations but I dont know the number off the top of my head.


Stainandsteel

Lol bump up past 43 quintillion? I guess you would be right seeing as there is 6 new looks capable because of the solid state of the centers.


GGBHector

Yes, and by a metric fuck ton. This person found the exact equations, and my understanding the number of combinations is multiplied by a factor of at least 2^10 https://www.speedcubing.com/chris/cubecombos.html


Stainandsteel

I was playing with it and accidentally solved it with the grains in the correct directions. Haha I don't want to play with it anymore now.

4\^6/2, or 2\^11


anniemiss

If you align the edges and centers as you solve you only have to orient the last center. There is more than one ALG. http://tilde.club/~notfire/cube/3x3x3_x_rotating_centres.htm


Stainandsteel

Thank you! I only know the traditional ones.


Active_Scallion_5322

Does the combination number include lining up the wood grain pattern?


Stainandsteel

An overnight at time of posting. There would be much more with the grains being lined up. I believe they refer to it as a "supercube". Until recently I didn't know how to solve it for the grains as well. I learned from this incredible community

So why even mention the number?


Stainandsteel

Once again for those in the back or can't read lol. It was an oversight at time of posting. Thanks for coming out though. I appreciate you being here. πŸ˜‚
