Slow Waltz
While thi is a simple 4x4 cube (no rotations even!), this design steps
up the difficulty to the next level. It really is an amazing puzzle,
with a unique level 14.8 solution (!!!!) which on top of being high
level, has some very unintuitive and tricky movements.

Secret Burr by Marcel Gillen (RPP)
Secret Burr is a re-release of a puzzle I made very limited copies of in 2002. Unique in that it's difficult in both assembly and disassembly, there are two locks inside the burr that interact much like Cutler's Ball Bearing Burr. Instead of steel bearings, Secret Burr uses small wood rectangles. Precision crafted of fine hardwoods, this puzzle not only looks exotic, but has the trickiness to back up its appearance.************************************************************For multiple items, c...

Hat Trick
Nice packing puzzle by Laszlo Molnar described by Brian on his Wood Wonders site:-This was one of two of Laszlo's entries into the IPP Design Competition and a TOP TEN Vote Getter. You know when Laszlo makes designs a packing puzzle that it will be a good one! I think this one has a difficult to find Aha! moment, making it even more satisfying. This puzzle has some rather close tolerances so it may not be for high humidity conditions.
