STRING WINE AND CHEESE PUZZLE

Can you separate the 2 pieces? They seem to be hopelessly locked together... but of course it can be done. A fun puzzle that is quite easy when you know what to do, but few find the solution quickly. Various woods are used that could include walnut, maple, oak, cherry, or ash. Pieces measure about 3 3/4" x 1 5/8" and the wood balls are about 1" diameter.
