An exciting idea by Alfons, the Two Face Three puzzle combines six standard burr pieces with an unusual cage. The outer cage contains an inner shuttle cage that articulates independently. Very unusual movement and a difficult level 20 solution make this a must have for anyone interested in unique burr puzzles. Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with a lot of detail work involved. The outer shell uses same species slipfeathers for looks and strength. The inside shuttle and burr pieces ar...

Noah's latest puzzle is reminiscent of Tom Jolly's 2009 design "Lolly Box". Four unusual pieces slot into the very restrictive openings in a specific and difficult sequence. The moves are very interesting, with each piece doing a three dimensional dance with the others for a level 19.4 solution. Tons of fun and a very unique puzzling sculpture when finished. 51 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzle was constructed with a shouldered box for strength, and internal pieces fully b...

Obstacle Box is the first design I have made by the talented Lucie Pauwels. A very interesting design, it combines a simple packing puzzle with a very unconventional box. Each layer of the puzzle has a sliding plank which must be properly positioned and manipulated to progress the solution. With many assemblies outside the box but only one inside the box, this is a fun solve for sure! Beautiful contrasting hardwoods give this box a distinctive look. The panels slides easily and the pieces fit sn...

Coniburr is an incredibly unique and tricky eight piece burr design. Four outer pieces conspire with four inner burr sticks to bedevil and beguile, culminating in a level 16 solution that's anything but easy. Simply disassembling this monster is a challenge; reassembly is a task best left to experts. Are you one of them?Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with particular attention paid to aesthetics and grain direction. Fit is also excellent, precise yet with enough tolerance to work in ...

The interesting shape of this burr is what attracted me to it initially. The unique level 12 solution was also a contributing factor. Once I figured out the color scheme and put it in production I was very pleased with the result. A definite departure from your normal six piece burr, the construction sequence is tricky and non-intuitive. The finished shape is pleasingly symmetrical and displays well. Fit is very good, should be fairly tolerant of high humidity. Ships unassembled.These puzzles ar...

Impossible Triangle of Three Cubes is actually not impossible, it's quite approachable in fact. Three odd shaped pieces come together to form three joined cubes. A fun assembly which displays interestingly. Construction of this puzzle is extremely precise, with the pieces sliding together perfectly once the solution is found. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.These puzzles are extras and oddballs that have accumulated in the shop.  Sometimes when we make a run of puzzles we will have a few wi...

Another very cool interlocking puzzle from the talented Mr. Jolly. Think Outside the Box has a long name and a moderate level 9.2 solution. However, there's a catch! I found this very tricky to solve and tricky to disassemble as well. Simple in concept and brilliant in execution, this is a design you Jolly well better not miss. The construction of this puzzle is very very good. The box is shouldered for strength and the pieces are notched wherever end grain meets side grain. This puzzle will be ...

Pin Block Case is a unique and very interesting packing puzzle. It's not terribly high level, nor super difficult, yet there's something satisfying about the solution that makes it a wonderful puzzle. We made a Signature series run that sold out immediately and many were asking for more, so we decided to make a run of artisan quality puzzles as well. Construction of this puzzle is very sturdy with milled, solid pieces. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.These puzzles are extras and oddballs tha...

These are the last of the Stumbling Blocks and we do not anticipate making any more.*****************Stumbling Blocks is a brilliant puzzle that I've been wanting to make for a while. When Pit mentioned that he had a more difficult version I jumped at the chance to make it. Packing the four pieces into the frame is the goal, and the way to get there is amazing. I can't tell much about this puzzle without giving things away, but I'll say that it has one of the best "Ah-ha!" moments I've seen for ...

Slideways is one of my favorite puzzles ever. Three simple, identical pieces combine to form a three dimensional symmetrical cross shape. Seems easy, but there's a tricky concept that the solver needs to grasp to make it happen. Once discovered the movement is addicting!

Burr of nine boxes looks like a fairly standard nine piece burr. So why did we make it? Because the solution is a lovely level seven that's not too tricky and not too easy. This puzzle is an excellent intermediate puzzle that prompts critical thought and analysis. Made in three similar but subtly different woods it looks great on your collection shelf too! This puzzle is shipped assembled.These puzzles are extras and oddballs that have accumulated in the shop.  Sometimes when we make a run of p...

Boron is a moderately difficult puzzle that displays like a piece of sculpture once it's solved. The 12 pieces are made with contrasting hardwoods and precision-crafted in our North Carolina workshop. Its interlocking nature means that several pieces have to shift around to release the first piece. This puzzle is a lot of fun and a great addition to anyone's collection, beginner or advanced. Boron is delivered disassembled.These puzzles are extras and oddballs that have accumulated in the shop.Â...

Three Cubes is an award-winning design, having placed in the 2018 IPP Design Competition. The three identical pieces must be assembled to form three solid cubes. This apparently simple task is complicated by the addition of magnets on each face, whose polarity significantly impacts the process. Very fun, and pocket-sized as well! Originally constructed with all three pieces made from the same wood type, this unique version consists of three different Tamarind, Canarywood, and Leopardwood pieces....
