This puzzle has a bit of a background...I first tried to make it about five years ago but made a mistake with the magnets and installed them incorrectly, ruining the puzzle at the last moment of production. Rookie mistake! I loved the concept and decided to revisit it with the added experience of five years putting magnets in the proper direction. Two Rings is a super unique idea; the rings must be manipulated such that they nest together. There is an easy solution and a difficult solution...I'v...

Japanese Wood Joint Burr was designed by Frans de Vreugd for the London IPP in 1999. Originally crafted in very small quantities by Wayne Daniel, Frans considers it one of his nicest designs. This burr is uniquely difficult in both concept and operation.We previously released a small batch last year, and decided to make more after a lot of positive customer feedback. This run was precisely crafted from Ash and Wenge. The fit and function are exact. Production turned out very well and is represen...

BurrBon is an utterly unique Interlocking Burr Puzzle. What could be better than a six-piece burr? How about a six-piece burr inside another six-piece burr? There are several ways to build the inner and out burrs separately, but only one possible configuration assembles them together. The interaction between inner and outer pieces is what makes this an extraordinarily difficult puzzle.The construction of BurrBon required just the right balance of tolerances to allow the inner burr to move smooth...

Despite the devilish difficulty of this puzzle, let me assure you that Derek is a really nice guy. Keep that in mind as you go crazy trying to solve his latest creation. Derek's half dozen is fiendishly difficult at a level 26.9.5 solution. It's so hard to solve I took pity and made the pieces from three woods so you'd have a big clue as to what goes where. I'm also shipping it assembled. You're welcome.Construction is dead on with VERY nice tolerances. Everything's square and beveled, with thro...

"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!

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. T...
