Following up with his Galaxy and Elena's burr from last update, Cup of Coffee goes an entirely different direction with what is possibly the most unique six piece burr inside a frame that I have ever seen.

RELEASED:2.17.2016PRODUCED:37 CopiesDESIGNER:Aleksandr LeontevCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Holly / BubingaCOMMENTS:This second iteration in the Galaxy series has a very different solution than Galaxy one, upping the ante with a level 7 solution. Movement is expansive since it goes largely in the opposite direction that Galaxy 1 did. The solver faces the same conundrum they did with Galaxy one, being easily able to identify the vertical pieces yet arranging the marblewood pieces in the spiral sh...

RELEASED:6.23.2016PRODUCED:50 CopiesDESIGNER:Alfons EyckmansCRAFTSMAN:Eric FullerMATERIAL:Wenge, ZebrawoodCOMMENTS:La Taupe is a fairly simple puzzle with a level 9 solution but I found the shape and concept so interesting that I had to try making it. I'm glad I did, the solution is fun and more confusing than you might imagine with a mere five pieces. The contrast between the Wenge and Zebrawood is beautiful. This guy is a little gem!Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with shouldered b...

Seriously though, this is one of the most unique designs I've seen in a long while, and I predict it will sell out very quickly. An unusual seven pieces forms a very unusual L shaped burr with a unique level 9.15.1.6 solution. The mechanics are odd and surprising...overall this is a super fun puzzle that will add a unique...

Unique, natch. The four burr pieces dance around the internal sliders until you feel like you're spinning in circles! Are you up for the challenge?Construction of this puzzle is excellent, with labor intensive finger joinery on the corners and milled pieces. Fit i...
