Lattice variations - Black and Red
These are two variations of my Lattice puzzle that Eric cut for me during the prototype phase with different colors. The black one is smoky gray, semi-transparent, with a nice, tight fit. The red one is solid red and the fit is somewhat sloppy. These are identical to the clear Lattice puzzle I used as an exchange puzzle for IPP29, but are, to my knowledge, the only ones around in these colors (unless Eric made a couple for himself).

Holy Astigmatism
Stewart Coffin started making 6-piece burrs with pieces which did not follow the normal orthogonal rules. This restricts the number of ways that the pieces can be rotated and limits the number of 'assemblies'. This is Bill Cutler's level-7 notchable 6-piece burr design which did not have a unique solution. When made with the slanted pieces, it does have a unique solution.

BurrNoose
from cubicdissection.com:I'm always excited when Tom
contacts me with a new design, and this one turned out to be no
exception. The "Noose" in the name refers to the fact that all six
pieces are contained by a 4x4 square which constricts them like a
noose. A squat rectangle with a unique level 9 solution, it is very
solid until you figure out the deceptive first move. After that things
get interesting, with lots of movement but only one specific
disassembly. Once apart, getting it all bac...

Wausau '84
This was held over from my personal collection, and is a unique wood combination (the ones sold on the website were solid in color).From Mr. Cutler's website: "I had always
been interested in designing burr puzzles which are difficult to take apart. The
burr shapes I had used to this point all had the same symmetry as the 6-piece
burr or the 24-piece burr - mathematically there are 24 symmetries to these
shapes. However, keeping all these symmetries and creating a new shape resulted

Improved Corner Block
Kerry's second puzzle shows huge progress
already. The improved Corner Block is a Coffin favorite, and Kerry has
implemented it nicely in premium bloodwood and Yellowheart. There are two color
variations available, each a mirror image of the other. Fit is excellent, with
both solutions coming together snugly but not too tight. An excellent puzzle!
