WINE KNOT
- As the name suggests
it is NOT a Wine Rack but rather an adaptation of the two dimensional
interlocked squares in the puzzle LOCKED LINKS which Edwin M.
Wyatt showed in his book Puzzles in Wood (1956).Mr Puzzle has
created three dimensional interlocked cubes in contrasting colours
for a spectacular appearance.
- The light timber is
Queensland Silver Ash and the dark timber is Queensland Walnut.
QUEENSLAND SNOWFLAKE
- Edwin Wyatt called this
puzzle the CHESTNUT BURR in his book Wonders in Wood (1946).
- To create the 24 pieces
which expose no less than 144 triangular facets on the exterior
of the puzzle, Mr Puzzle has made more than 280 very precise
saw cuts.
- The end result is this
complex but very attractive design.
- The puzzle is made from
Queensland Silver Ash.
FRED
- This puzzle was invented
by Fred Irvine of New Zealand.
- Did Fred name the puzzle
after himself or is FRED an acronym for Fourteen Relatively
Easy Designs ?
- The object of the puzzle
is to first build the light and dark cubes.
- Then take one "L"
shaped piece from the light cube and swapping it with one "T"
shaped piece from the dark cube make the next two cubes. Then
swap another "L" piece with a "T" piece and
make the cubes again... and so on until all "L"s have
been swapped for "T"s.
- Did Fred say fourteen
relatively easy designs?
- The light cube is made
from Queensland Silver Ash. The dark cube is
made from Queensland Walnut. They are presented in
a Rosewood slide lid box.
