I hadn't heard from Duane in quite some time, but he mailed me this little gem of a puzzle and I had to make it. Kaon is a six-piece burr which features three pairs of pieces with mirrored cubes inside which restrict their position. It has two solutions, each with different assembly methodologies. A very simple, elegant design and exactly the kind I like to make.Construction of this puzzle is very very good, with an extremely accurate fit. The finish is exceptional. I'm very happy with how this ...

A fantastic burr from Alfons, presented here by Pelikan. One of the boards has a minor flaw where a glue point has come loose, visible in the photos; the puzzle still solves perfectly and could likely be mended very simply.Kevin Sadler wrote about it: “Alfons Eyckmans designs puzzles ranging from fairly simple to massively complex and Pelikan has chosen just the right level. It's perfect for the puzzler who is either a beginner to burrs or an enthusiast. It looks stunning in the four wo...

From 2018 Eric: Burr with Ring is a clever assembly from award winning designer Hajime Katsumoto. It's a standard six piece burr with the addition of six rings, each fixed to the end of one of the burr sticks. The final assembly is nearly cubic, and with a level 5.5.4 solution it's challenging but doable. Construction of this puzzle is sublime; tolerances are dead on and the finish is beautiful. This one really turned out well. 49 copies made for sale, each signed and dated. This puzzl...

New condition. Wood Wonders: "LunaTIC is another TIC with relatively few pieces, only 5. And with only 2 rotations, it would seem to be a good challenge for a new puzzler. But I think it will also challenge the rest of you too. I like the look of these woods with the darker, richer look to them. Made from Moabi, Padauk, Cambodian Ormosia, Wenge, Monterillo Rosewood or Lacewood. Ships unassembled. Moves - 9.3.6 with 2 Rotations

New condition.Original Wood Wonders description not available.Level 1.1.2.26.6 with 10 rotations.Presumably sized: 2.25" x 2.25" x 2.25" ( 5.7cm x 5.7cm x 5.7cm)Reviews: https://www.zenpuzzler.com/2020/04/the-proper-way-to-solve-puzzle-pedantic.html

Solved once. Returned to original state. Like new. Yellowheart/ Borneo Rosewood/ Monterillo Rosewood version.Wood Wonders: "When Jose sent me this design, I knew I was going to make it! I really liked the movements of the layers. I had one of my testers tell me that he thought that the puzzle was more difficult after the removal of the first piece! I also really like the woods in this puzzle. The Monterillo rosewood is just beautiful and the Borneo Rosewood is a nice compliment to the Yellowhea...

Derek's Split Maze Burr has been eagerly awaited as the more difficult and imposing verion of the original Maze Burr released years ago by Kagen. Upping the ante with double maze plates on each face, this puzzle is more of a puzzle system. There are many challenges, with "simple" solutions requiring 30 moves up to the most difficult configuration requiring over 300 moves to solve! The puzzle comes with tools to rearrange the plates and a downloadable booklet illustrating the problems (a link to...

Oskar's Matchboxes has always been one of my favorite designs. In terms of originality, appearance and overall appeal, very few puzzles come close. The five dissimilar pieces consist of an outer box and inner tray cleverly glued together. The goal is to assemble the pieces so that every tray is contained inside a box. With only two solutions, this is quite tricky!Oskar’s Matchboxes is a very time-consuming puzzle to make, with all pieces constructed using the same shoulder joinery that we used...

Solved once. Restored to original unsolved state. Like new.Can send further pictures on request.Wood Wonders: "More rotations with the FanaTIC. Five in all, with a level of 4.4.7.3.2. I must be honest and say I didn't even try to solve this puzzle. I went straight for the solution to save time, something I seem to have less of these days! Much like the PedanTIC, two larger pieces give a good indication about how the pieces go together. Now try getting them there!Two puzzles are shown in the pic...

New condition. Wood Wonders: "Another design competition entry from Andrew, this is a tough little puzzle to assemble. Two fairly large pieces make the process of seeing the finished arrangement fairly easy, now just try and put it together!!!! There are a few different versions but they all use the same woods, no choices are available. Four colorful woods used are Purpleheart, redheart, yellowheart and holly. The woods are used haphazardly and each piece contains multiple species.Size: Appro...

Twelve Bow Ties 3 was both designed and crafted by the master himself, Wayne Daniels, whose work is getting mighty hard to find these days.  It was an IPP36 Exchange Gift from Marti Reis and is being sold as received - without having ever been disassembled except what little was done for one of the photos.  There are 8 pieces, each with notches and dovetail-like protrusions that fit into the notches.  This is an assembly puzzle, so taking it apart is easy.  You won't need to do much to be co...

This three piece devil is a crafty level 24 solution with TONS of dead ends and trickiness. The skeletonized traditional three piece shape looks stuning in contrasting woods, and the completed puzzle is surprisingly stable.

Tripla is a 3-piece interlocking puzzle with an icosahedral symmetry in the solved state. It is made of 3 mm stainless steel with matte finish. Tripla may look innocent but it is trickier than it seems. Comes with a QR code that can be scanned to obtain the solution.

This was Laszlo Molnar's IPP design competition entry at IPP38.Goal is to get the three holly pieces into the box through the small hole.Quite tricky!

The goal is to make a 5x5x3 assembly. While the level 2.3.4.4.3 solution isn't very high, the rotation involved is very tricky.Once the puzzler starts solving it it becomes clear that most of the pieces have to go through the ring somehow. The tricky part is figuring out exactly how to make that happen. When you finally achieve this it will leave a grin on your face :)

One of Kagen Sound (nee Shaefer)'s early designs.Unlike his more well known boxes, this is a 6 pc burr with 2 solutions.
