Burred Box, 25 year old exchange puzzle from IPP20
"Burred Box" was long-time Dutch IPP attendee Nanco Bordewijk's exchange puzzle at IPP20, held in Los Angeles in 2000. The birch pieces were precision laser cut by prolific puzzle producer Sjaak Griffioen. The object of the puzzles is to assemble the six pieces into the box-like burr structure shown in the first photo. The puzzle is as it was received at IPP20 in 2000 in Los Angeles. I will provide a
copy of the solution to "Burred Box" from the IPP20 souvenir booklet. I will ship wi...

Clutch 1 by Girish Sharma
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!Clutch 1 was the first tic to make me admit that 3 piece tics could be hard, when I was used to them being easy! It also defined Girish's design style to me for the first time as that of being tricky, unorthogonal rotations. Andrew Crowell has a clear design style where every rotation involves a piece rotating exactly 45 or 90 degrees. But Girish delights in designing rotations that don'...

TriadTIC by Andrew Crowell
Hello prospective bidders! Come and enjoy the pretty pixels of whichever puzzle is being listed for this page!TriadTIC is yet another 3 piece tic with a "three" in its name to the surprise of everyone! It's deceptively close to feeling like it's an Interlocking Cube, but I promise there are still important rotations involved in the solve. Slightly on the easier side, but not a trivial solve at all.Long story short, I'm selling several dozen Turning Interlocking Cubes

Dutch Cross, IPP23 (2003) exchange puzzle, Dic Sonneveld / Pelikán
Dic Sonneveld was a designer of mathematics-based puzzles. One of his efforts resulted in "Dutch Crosses," six piece burrs that could not be solved by computer.

While the move count is fairly low, it's easy to get confused on how to put the pieces together. Good thing the wood colors help indicate how everything is meant to come together! It's also a very early puzzle made by Brian Menolds, so the fit is fairly tight. Once the pieces are together, it's not easy to get the pie...
