13th Puzzle Auction

This is our 13th puzzle auction on eBay and as usual, a half of the sales of the puzzle will be donated to a wildlife cause.

SDBBB - Sequential Discovery Board Burred Box
This is the test version of our next product that is going to be released soon after this auction.
The one on the auction is made of pine timber and our original plywood of American Rock Maple and Utile is used for the product version.


Juno's Checker Pentominoes
He designed this puzzle in 2016 to use off-cut timber efficiently. We have put three of them on the auction and all the three sets have different timber, American Black Walnut, Jarrah and Utile for the darker cubes. Making a 5 x 4 x 3 cuboid with all the twelve pieces is very difficult but even puzzle beginners can enjoy it.

Jarrah


Utile

We don't produce Juno's Checker Pentominoes as our regular product and this is the only opportunity that you can have the puzzle.

Headed Lattice and 12th Auction Results

Hi,

We have produced our second lattice type puzzle Headed Lattice last weekend. Please have a look at the detail of the puzzle on our official web shop.


Before the release of Headed Lattice, we held 12th puzzle auction on eBay and the total sales amount of the three puzzles became a surprisingly high AUD $357.00!


As we have always done, Juno and I headed to the head branch of AWLQ, the shelter of one of our adapted cats, to donate half the sales amount of the auction. It was a good excuse to meet our fluffy friends but this time, we also met some birds, dogs and guinea pigs there. Here is the invoice of the donation.

Donation receipt (AUD180.00)






We also met our (human) friends there and they also supported AWLQ to express their gratitude for having a fun time at the shelter. After we left the shelter, we enjoyed lunch and shopping together, and it was a great day for the beginning of the week.

12th Puzzle Auction

We have started an eBay auction for three puzzles, one prototype of a new puzzle and another two are Pine and our original plywood versions of burr puzzles that we have no intention to sell as our regular product.
As usual, every puzzle starts from $1.00 AUD!

A half of the sales of the puzzle will be donated to the AWLQ (Animal Welfare League Queensland) to save stray and surrendered pets.

Level 7-8 Burr (original plywood and Pine versions)
We have no intention to make a product version of this puzzle since it is similar to our former products, and thus there are only two available in the auction.



Headed Lattice (prototype)
There are only four pieces to the puzzle, but it requires relatively high numbers of 20 moves to remove the first piece from the assembled shape. The product versions of Headed Lattice will start selling soon after the end of this auction.
