N-Closed is a two-step challenge. First objective is to put together a 4x4x3 cube from six pieces. Once completed the trickier part is to do the same within the frame. The frame has a number of fixed cubes in strategic positions to increase the complexity.I ordered the "surprise me" version from Brian, which meant that each of the three pairs of pieces would be a different random wood. I was very pleasantly surprised when I got the puzzle, the pieces are made from Sucupira, Mexican Greenheart a...

This is a very interesting (and fairly difficult) packing puzzle from the wonderful mind of Goh Pit Khiam. Crafter by the master craftsman Tom Lensch the goal is to place the 4 pieces into the box to make it appear full, from the front. There are finger manipulation openings on the back and base.The design is very clever and the solution has a few stages and a really nice aha moment too. The Box is finished with Brass Pins to give it a unique look and feel.A real collectors piece.

When Stewart wrote The Puzzling World Of Polyhedral Dissections, he commented that he did not know if a scrambled version of the Jupiter puzzle with twelve dissimilar pieces and a single solution could be made. This is it. 60 paired triangular sticks glued in arrays of 4,5 or 6 sticks, all different, assemble into a hollow ball, the inside of which is a triacontahedron.  If made of one wood this is an extremely difficult assembly. The wood variety pairing makes life easier and 30 different woo...

This puzzle looks just like another caged burr at first glance. It's only after playing with it that the genius of the design is apparent. Four identical pieces dance around two longer horizontal pieces to create a unique level 18 solution. Not only do you need to determine the position but orientation becomes important as well.

While thi is a simple 4x4 cube (no rotations even!), this design steps up the difficulty to the next level. It really is an amazing puzzle, with a unique level 14.8 solution (!!!!) which on top of being high level, has some very unintuitive and tricky movements.

Secret Burr is a re-release of a puzzle I made very limited copies of in 2002. Unique in that it's difficult in both assembly and disassembly, there are two locks inside the burr that interact much like Cutler's Ball Bearing Burr. Instead of steel bearings, Secret Burr uses small wood rectangles. Precision crafted of fine hardwoods, this puzzle not only looks exotic, but has the trickiness to back up its appearance.************************************************************For multiple items, c...

This tremendous puzzle was designed by the genius Stephan Baumegger at the request of Dave Holt (The Metagrobologist) to accompany the Arthur and the Excalibur (also Cubic caged burrs) in the theme of T.H. White’s “Once and Future King”. This gorgeous burr consists of 8 burrsticks in 2 sets of 4 and Merlin’s wand passing throu...
