Description

RIB is an gorgeous specimen of the puzzles that Brian Menolds can craft. It is made of wenge and chatke viga with splines of holly.

It is also a tricky board burr with several dead ends and a confusing manner of shuffling the pieces around as one struggles to separate this wooden tangle.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.
I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Payment Methods: Wise, Other payment method (see description)

Waltz by Osanori (made by Pelikan)

Waltz is a 2 piece packer that Osanori came up with after a fan dared him to make such a puzzle that wasn't a trivial solve.While Waltz is not a difficult solve, it puts up enough of a fight on working the pieces into the box that solvers will still have a feeling of satisfaction once they fit everything into the box. I had a lot of fun just repeating the enjoyable tactile pleasure of leading the pair through their dance.I'm now letting it go since the solve has been memorized too well for me to...

Cerberus by Girish Sharma

Cerberus is living up to its mythological Greek name of the three headed dog guarding the boundary between life and death! Be careful of the dead ends you find yourself in this maze or the phrase "dead end" might become literal!The puzzle is an Interlocking Cube, not a TIC. So there are no rotations involved here. But that doesn't mean it's easy. The pieces really love to get in the way of each other. Usually the solve gets easier once all of the pieces are put together and just need to settle d...

Inelegant Snakes by Haym Hirsh

The Inelegant series of puzzles is a fairly unusual assembly or packing puzzle. The goal is to simply assemble the pieces into a cube. But each puzzle in the series delights in messing with the underlying design of the pieces. They started with the Inelegant Soma where the pieces were based on the Soma Cube design, but the voxels were stretched from being cubes into rectangular voxels that got glued into the Soma pieces we know and love. However this "distortion" results in forming a cube that a...

Neighburr by Christoph Lohe

Neighburr is one heck of a caged burr. The pieces are nicely chunky with a pleasing heft to them, the woods are gorgeous, and the burr puzzle design is really fun! Too often the burr design gets fairly unstable and a pain to properly hold the pieces in place to finish taking them apart or to reassemble. But Neighburr stays fairly stable for most of the solve and loves to mess with you by letting you move the burr sticks really far in one direction or another without letting go. It's a mean one!N...
