Burry Joint
from billcutlerpuzzles.com:This puzzle has the same external shape as the Wausau'82, however the
insides are quite different. The innermost 3 pieces interlock in an
interesting joint designed by Jerry McFarland. The outer pieces conceal
the notches on these pieces, and an additional trick is used to keep the
puzzle from coming apart easily.
This was my (Bill's) souvenir puzzle at the 20th International Puzzle Party.Buyer is responsible for shipping and paypal fees

Sonneveld Cubed Burr
This is an amazing 3-piece caged burr that defies all attempts to solve it, until one realizes one must break all the rules (but not the puzzle) by using unconventional moves... Extremely difficult and amazing put together. How Mr Sonneveld came up with this, I have no idea...Buyer is responsible for shipping and paypal fees

Fancy This!
Stewart Coffin's Fancy This! puzzle, number 115-A in his list of designs. This copy is made of Purpleheart and Imbuya. Stewart made about 8 of these puzzles in 1996 and it was used as an exchange puzzle at IPP-17, crafted by Wayne Daniel. In #115 , Stewart used four different woods to aid in the solution. The -A suffix comes from the fact that this version is made of one external wood, which makes the puzzle more difficult. The first step in solving this 7 piece puzzle involves a tricky coo...

Wooden cube - 3D jigsaw cut 27 pieces - Keith Winegar
Wooden cube, jigsaw-cut, 27 pieces, 4 inches wide, from Keith Winegar Puzzle Works, 1994. Little sheet comes with it, but doesn't give you any instructions (not like you need them; it's a 3D jigsaw, after all). Not sure what wood this is, somewhat redish in color, not super-dense. Looks nice. Easy beginner puzzle for your non-puzzleist friends.
