has been the creator of these sculptural puzzles since he started
working with wood in 1975. Inspired by natural forms in this
timeless land we call Australia such as The Olgas, Ayers Rock
and other Remarkable Rocks, robin started collecting timbers
from all over Australia 28 years ago and through its colour,
grain and character the wood tells Robin what it want to become.
Working from his studio in Aldinga, South Australia, he reflects
all the ethics he lives by in his work - recycling, renewable
community and above all quality. Click

Kobold puzzle was one of 36 different Anchor Puzzles manufactured
between 1891 & 1964. The height of their popularity was during
WW1 when they were manufactured for troops in Germany and ironically

Bavaria which Richter had purchased the patent for in 1882 and
