This project was a wedding present for a close friend and his wife--a wooden puzzle with a unique solution. It is made out of maple and mahogany.
I didn't design this myself, but it was an all-hand-tools project and provided lots of practice with precise dimensioning lumber using hand planes and saws. Without precisely square and dimensioned pieces, the puzzle would have been loose fitting and wouldn't have held together as a single solid piece.
I also used this project to experiment with printing on wood and included an inspirational message to be decoded once the puzzle had been solved. This puzzle will probably be solved and put back together just once, but then will provide a small decorative piece commemorating their wedding in their home.
