The Illusion
Gives the illusion of being a burr but is another of Mike's diagonal dissections. Beautifully realised in amboyna burl, kotibe and purpleheart the fit has become a little loose but holds together ok and reassembly is quite difficult. Check out Mike's original comments at www.puzzzlevision.com

Flower 2
A Toulouzas classic, this copy is made from wenge, zebrawood and bubinga and though it has been well-played, evidenced by a couple of slightly damaged points, the fit is still excellent. Check out Mike's original comments at www.puzzzlevision.com

The Hellas Cube
A nicely fitting though rather large and heavy interlocking cube designed by Mike, crafted by Ivan Mirkvca and sold to me by Bernhard at puzzlewood.de . Made from jatoba and maple. Might be costly to ship internationally because of the weight.

The Elizabeth Cube or "CUBELIZA"
The letters of ELIZABETH incorporated, along with four other nondescript connecting pieces, into a solid cube with no voids. Not fully interlocking (the letter pieces are all planar), in fact the wenge 'T' will fall away if the cube is inverted. Disassembly is therefore not difficult but reassembly without pictures or a very good memory most definitely is! Woods are wenge, padauk, oak, maple, mahogany, walnut, cedar, zebrawood.

Improved Mehandros Cube
Made from maple and mahogany, this is a 9-piece, serially interlocking cube and, if you do not look at Mike's revealing description, the opening move is very deceptive.

Improved Ribbon Keyvos
6-piece interlocking cube in bubinga and maple. Tight enough to make it difficult to find the sliding axis but beautifully smooth thereafter and a perfect fit.

Tube It In By Mr. William Strijbos
This is a very collectable packing puzzle by William Strijbos. I have had it since the 1990's. Very fun to solve. The pictures are from John Rausch's website under craftsmen, William Strijbos. I know the buyer will be very happy with this one. It's made from precision cut galvanized steel. It's very heavy for it's size. It is as new because it has been packaged and stored with other collectables.Shipping will be $10.00 for the U.S.A. and $25.00 International Shipping.

Ternary Burr
This puzzle is a groundbreaking and highly anticipated design. Only 30 copies have ever been made in the past, and Brian at Mr. Puzzle sold them out very quicky. The Ternary burr consists of 22 pieces, with over 90 notches and and grooves. The unique solution requires 75 moves to get the first piece out, and over 90 moves to completely disassemble the puzzle. A very difficult work of art!Here is what the designer, Pit, has to say about it: "One evening, I was playing with Bill Cutler’s Binary ...

the eight pieces are two layers only due to the dog ears)

Boron
Boron is not necessarily trivial but also not mind-bendingly difficult. The four inch size has a nice heft, weighing in at a full one lb. weight. This is a great gift for someone you want to encourage spatial abilities without them getting too frustrated.Construction is very good, precise but with a tiny bit of extra room to compensate for very dry shop conditions.
