I noticed a lot of interesting board and stick burrs coming out on Ishino's site so I decided to make batch of them. After looking at a couple dozen designs I chose six for their representation of the various concepts and levels of difficulty.This and the Quads and Rings 1 are probably the entry-level puzzles in this category when it comes to difficulty. Worm Inside is fairly basic, with the added twist of two smaller acrylic "worms" that are to be inserted alongside the wood wenge sticks. A tri...

Up for auction is Jack In The Box by Jesse Born. This puzzle is number 11 out of 100 produced in 2019. Original packaging and documentation is not included, however the original prize is in place. Features very nice inlay work on the front panel. Crafted from Wenge, Holly, and hardwood inlay. Note: The original prize is stuck inside the compartment.

Another of Guy Brette's devious designs, this twelve piece burr has two different stick lengths and an interesting "cross" finished shape. It's also quite difficult with a whopping level 9.9.9 solution. I'd call it the crown jewel of this update in terms of difficulty and appearance. The maple on the short axis contrasts nicely with the purpleheart long axis, and once assembled it displays very nicely.Construction is excellent, fit is slightly loose in the dry winter weather we're having in the ...
