Walnut releases a low, sweet scent when the lathe peels away a 0.3 mm curl. That ribbon, caught under studio lights, reveals grain lines that began growing two centuries before the puzzle maker was born. Each of the fourteen pieces below began as such a curl: maple from Hokkaido, rosewood from Madagascar, birch from the Carpathians. The shavings have long since been swept away, but their ghosts remain in the tight tolerances and burnished surfaces that invite both fingertip and eye. These puzzles are not mere amusements; they are portable archives of timber, myth, and mathematics waiting for a shelf that understands provenance.

Collector’s Quick Reference
Which puzzles age gracefully on open display?
Hardwoods with tight grain—walnut, maple, rosewood—resist warping. Avoid direct sunlight; a glass vitrine with silica gel keeps humidity near 45%.
How do I document provenance for resale or gifting?
Retain original packaging, note timber source if provided, and photograph the puzzle both solved and disassembled; proven stories add 20–30% value.
What’s the first piece a new collector should acquire?
Start with the Circular Lock: three parts, elegant silhouette, and an instant lesson in spatial reasoning that displays beautifully beside any book.
Display the first puzzle you solve on the northern edge of your desk. Let morning light graze its angles for one full season. By the solstice you’ll notice a quiet shift: the grain seems darker, the fit more fluid, as if the wood has memorized your rhythm. That subtle change marks the inaugural milestone in a collection that will outlive every notification on your phone. The next piece is already waiting—its own rings counting years you have yet to live.
