Stellar Burr - William Waite by Wayne Daniel

Most puzzlers are quite familiar with William's awesome tray puzzle designs but he has designed some notable interlocking designs as well and this one is one of my favourites!

It's very unusual assembled shape make this a tough one to visualize and put together, be sure to visit William's website to see all that he has available!


Around the Bend - Frans de Vreugd by Brian Young

This awesome puzzle was  Presented by Frans de Vreugd in Helsinki, Finland, at the IPP exchange in 2005

Here's Brian's description:

"The object of the puzzle is assemble the six plated end pieces (shaped like "L") into the six piece burr.
When working on another project Frans noticed that the principle of adding a ‘plate’ to the end of the pieces was an interesting variation on the standard six piece burr. As a result he created this puzzle which is the highest level burr of this type with notchable pieces. Will the piece around the end drive you around the bend?

Dubois Burr by Brian Young

Beautifully Crafted from Queensland Blackbean by Brian in 2006, this puzzle was originally discovered by Phillipe Dubois (Israel) back in 1985.

It takes 6 moves to remove the first piece and then another 4 for the second so not a trivial puzzle by any means!
