Tubular Burr Box by Pacific Puzzleworks (Lee Krasnow) [413-349]

Lee Krasnow high-precision laser cut miniature version of this excellent design by Ronald Kint-Bruynseels that features pieces shaped like little men.  A gem of a puzzle, pieces are in excellent condition.  Very few were made, perhaps only 20.  PPW logo is engraved on the front of the key piece, "Made in USA 2008" on the reverse.  Hardwood laminate engraved and finished to a level of detail that is, well, incredible.

Originally, Lee posted: "Over the past year, the team at Pacific Puzzleworks has been developing our own super-high-quality hardwood laminate product that we make ourselves by pressing together veneer cut from sustainably harvested trees (cherry, walnut and maple) using non-toxic aliphatic resin wood glue. This special puzzlemaking plywood is sanded to accurate dimension, and then laser-cut with high-resolution etching on both sides of the material. The unsurpassed quality of the resulting puzzle pieces can be seen by examining the full-size version of the photographs. The perfect fit and meticulous attention to detail is what you would expect from anything bearing a Pacific Puzzleworks logo."

Pacific Puzzleworks FB says "Lee Krasnow is widely regarded by puzzle collectors as one of the worlds best designers and craftsmen of interlocking geometric puzzles and secret opening boxes.

Lee's work is superb from every perspective. Superlatives fail me.  Don't miss a chance to grab a bona fide Krasnow!

Mahalo!
