Thanks to everyone who donated to Grids for Kids or Fearless Flyers!! Since we got over the $650 threshold with Fearless Flyers, I'm going to stream puzzle construction tomorrow morning (Saturday the 25th). No set time, but shooting for sometime around 7 or 8 Pacific time - will stream on my not-very-often-used Twitch channel.
About this puzzle - I am a big grid aesthetics fan and spent...quite a bit of time trying to figure out how it should be oriented. Quiara's advice was enough to tip the scales. Also, interestingly enough the central stack was not the seed - I happened upon that during construction and am pretty stoked about it.
