"Exhaust" is a very unusual six-piece interlocking burr that combines board and burr piece shapes to achieve a fascinating symmetry. The two board and two burr pieces interact with the two hybrid-style pieces to create an unusual challenge. The solution is devious and clever.Construction of Exhaust went very well. The end-grain joints of the hybrid pieces are reinforced by a half-shoulder for strength, ensuring that this puzzle will stand the test of time without mechanical failure. Exhaust look...

In Brackets is an interlocking cube with a twist! While moderate in difficulty, the solution is so much fun you'll find yourself solving it over and over.Last released in 2009, this was Sam's IPP Design Competition Entry that same year. This unique puzzle combines a standard 3x3 cube with three surrounding brackets. Deciphering order and orientation of assembly are non-trivial. The solved puzzle has a unique appearance and displays beautifully.We constructed In Brackets with solid Black Walnut p...

We are excited to work with another new designer Tyler Hudson for this release. Parasitic Burr is an eight-piece burr in the disguise of a traditional six-piece burr shape, done in an ingeniously simple way. Six standard burr pieces interlock around two identical tetracube pieces which are hidden inside the belly of the final assembly. The unique solution is an approachable level 3, and figuring out the correct placement of the smaller inside pieces makes it a very fun assembly puzzle. Look out ...

Six Doors by Yavuz Demirhan is a variation on the classic six-piece burr shape. The added rings around the endgrain resemble a stile and rail door once the puzzle is assembled. Each ring complicates the movement of the pieces to reach a formidable but approachable level 14 solution.Yavuz had originally released this design in 2012, and since then has optimized the puzzle to increase the level from 12 to 14 moves to remove the first piece. The simple shaped pieces conceal a tricky dead end that m...

+Burr (Plus Burr) is a six-piece burr in an unconventional shape designed by Stephan Baumegger in 2015. The name derives from the negative space on each assembled face which resembles the addition symbol. With a level 8.1.2 disassembly is not trivial, but not overly challenging. I recommend disassembling and scrambling the pieces for a great assembly puzzle.We have made two variants for this release, one with light white oak and rich walnut, and another with bright ash and intricate zebrawood.

Mondrian's Mess is an assembly puzzle created by Tom Jolly in 2021. Building on concepts from his puzzles Little Window (2011) and Open Window (2012), and with a name inspired by the abstract geometric paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, Mondrian's Mess turns those two designs inside out, putting the odd-shaped pieces on the outer layers instead of on the inner one. The result is a visually appealing piece of art that's just as pleasing to look at as it is to play with.The goal is to find t...

We first released a wooden version of Slump Cube back in 2010, when Eric had this to say about it:"This puzzle was inspired by the 3x3x3 dovetailed cube that Wayne produced a few years ago. With permission and a little advice I decided to look into reproducing the design. I quickly realized how many possibilities existed in the 3x3 format, and decided to start with a 2x2. I brought Ronald in because his burrtools kung fu is far superior to mine...lucky for me he was in a design slump, so he pick...
