Here’s my version of the classic puzzle based on the plans and designs by mtairymd in one of his recent projects. I would first like to thank mtairymd for his detailed plans and the inspiration for building this as a little Christmas gift for my wife who likes challenging puzzles. I would also encourage everyone to take note of mtairymd’s other projects. There are a few more of his that I’ve seen that I’d like to try.
I slightly modified the plans and used sapele for the box with birds eye maple for the top and different species of wood (cherry, walnut, and birds eye maple) for the puzzle pieces. Sanded to 800 grit and finished with linseed oil and a few coats of paste wax made the puzzle pieces almost glide in the box.
Thanks for looking and again, thanks to mtairymd.
