Puzzles by Maker > Vinco - complex wooden puzzles from Czech Republic
We first met Václav Obšívac (Vinco to his friends or Vin & Co) at the International Puzzle Party. Seen here with a very large puzzle he made, he says that even knowing the solution, and with many friends helping out, it took three hours to put together.
Václav Obšívac has been making puzzle in his own workshop in Frenštát pod Rahoštem in the eastern part of the Czech Republic in north Moravia since 2001. In that year he was a participant at the World Puzzle Championships in Brno in Czech Republic.
Vinco collects many trees in his local area to create these puzzles including acacia, ash, beech, cherry, elm, larch, maple, oak, pear, plum and walnut. Timber variety may vary from puzzle to puzzle unless otherwise specified. The puzzles are unsealed showcasing the natural colour and texture of the timber.
Many of the puzzles are Vinco's own designs and involve very complex pieces created by glueing a series of shapes together. He rates them on a scale from 1 to 5 - 5 being the most difficult of his puzzles (News flash - we've just got a second 5+ in stock) A printed graphical solution is included with each puzzle.
