Description

This is a piece made by my clever and talented father. The wood block is a single, solid piece of wood that hasn’t been cut or glued in any way. How did the nail get there? I keep this on my desk to remind me of the delight my Dad takes in creating these types of puzzles and oddities. -Laura

[A single piece of wood cut into the shape of a capital E, but with an extra stem. There is a nail going through the two middle stems; it is unclear how the nail got there without damaging the outer stems.]
