All Tetra Stick - Osanori Yamamoto, Pelikan. Lovely, well made puzzle.

Anansi's Maze, designed by Pavel Curtis. This lovely acrylic puzzle was a good bit of fun to solve. Placing "all 12 pieces flat in the tray" is really not a puzzle at all; but putting them in so that the letters don't overlap is tricky. Then, figuring out the hidden message is also tricky. That leads you to the third puzzle. Anyway, the puzzle was a little journey of solutions, and quite satisfying; took somewhat less than an hour to solve. Impressive design from 2009.

Everlasting Gobstopper by Lee Krasnow. The puzzle is a sold-out, limited edition, #2 of 8. The pieces are etched with the type of wood (see pieces photo for an example). Similar to Coffin's Peanut, this can be assembled in many different shapes besides the one shown. Fit and finish is very good; all pieces grade A-C on Lee's quality scale. The first two pictures are from a recent auction by Nick Baxter. The subsequent two pictures show the puzzle's current non-assembly. I've been unable to r...

"Make a symmetric, one band Celtic Braiding using all the 19 pieces." Although it looks like a jigsaw puzzle, it is much more difficult, given that the target shape is not known. This is a really nice puzzle and is rather heavy (around 1 lb or 0.5 kg, I would estimate). Comes with original instructions, no solution is provided (available upon request).
