Very tricky 18.6.3 "double burr" puzzle in exotic woods. Very few were made and availability is extremely limited, if at all.

One piece is etched with the "MV" (Maurice Vigouroux) insignia.From Eric Fuller:"If you like solving one six piece burr, how about two at the same time! With a difficult level 18.6.3 solution, this puzzle is ...

The Open Cube is a work of art, designed by Marc van Kreveld and Theo Geerinck, and skillfully crafted by Josef Pelikan in six different woods. While not difficult to take apart, putting this puzzle back together may be quite tricky! The Open Cube is a great addition to any puzzler’s collection. The combination of the six different woods is a wonderful example of the great diversity in wood texture and color. At 4.5 inches and a one-of-a-kind “open window” design, this ...

These appear to be two common burrs, a 6-piece burr and a diagonal burr (or star burr). In reality, each of them comes apart in three pieces. Each of them has a hole to string on a keychain (included), they were designed so that they cannot come apart when strung on a chain.The cube burr design was by Jim Gooch, modified into a keychain puzzle by me. The stellated rhombic dodecahedron was designed by me, it is similar to my IPP34 exchange puzzle called an Orchid Pennyhedron. Clever...

One of a kind box packing puzzle invented by Leonard Gordon more than 25 years ago. Originally devised from pieces made from joined spheres, here I use truncated rhombic dodecahedra or edge beveled cubes. The eight identical L-shaped pieces can fit in a golf ball case (included). Each piece has been dyed a different color.Four of the pieces can also be interlocked to form a truncated tetradedron. This is a second puzzle, called "Blossom".This puzzle was printed before Shapeways changed their pri...

This "impossible" object is 3D printed in bronze steel by Shapeways and polished. It is a mobius band which is tied in a knot. If you trace a face (or edge) around, you will discover it has only one face and one edge. Since the band is not even approximately 2-dimensional, technically it is not a mobius strip, but rather a "quarter-twisted square torus".Comes with a 20" cord for hanging as a pendant.

f you like solving one six piece burr, how about two at the same time! With a difficult level 18.6.3 solution, this puzzle is not for lightweights! Tricky and entertaining, and displays very well once solved. Three different woods used for aesthetics and also to give the solver a chance (this puzzle would be exponentially more difficult in solid wood). Fit is incredibly precise - sometimes this makes find the next move extra tricky...I'm selling these puzzles to fund future puzzle-making equipme...

from cubic dissection.com:Markus designed this puzzle quite a while ago and I always liked the looks of it. Finally I emailed him asking if the design was free...and it was! One hitch though - there was more than one solution. I greatly prefer puzzles with a single solution, so I decided to enlist Tom Jolly to see if it could be modified into a single solution. Tom quickly determined that the original had at least 15 solutions. Both Tom and Markus subsequently went to work, both coming up with i...

I found the geometry of the cage and internal pieces very pleasing, and the fact that Triaxe is a difficult level 24 solution didn't hurt. With only three pieces it's not impossible, but this is definitely an advanced puzzle. Lots of movement and lots of dead end...
