Hand Made Wooden Puzzles and Brain Teasers
April 2012 - Puzzles Coming Soon!.
More work will be done to the site and some additional puzzles are coming in the next few weeks. I will send out an email in advance to let you know when. If you aren’t on my email list yet, send me an email and ask me to add you.
I am still going to continue to donate to Ovarian Cancer in support of my wife who is battling this horrible disease for the 5th time. As you may know, we lost our daughter to breast cancer last April. A portion of all sales since then was going to breast cancer research. Now as our family begins another battle with cancer, I am switching our donations to ovarian cancer.
About Wood Wonders: Each of the puzzles that we sell at Wood Wonders are handmade, created in a small workshop, usually just a few at a time. Made from domestic and imported hardwoods, they are hand sanded and hand waxed. No stains are used.
The photos on this site are of actual puzzles we have produced. The look of these unique pieces changes over time and wood species may vary. If you are buying puzzles from our normal stock, the wood species may vary from the photo. I can keep my prices down on these puzzles by not needing to constantly change my site. I am happy to email you a photo or description of what I have before you order. On our “Special Puzzles” page, the photos are of the actual puzzle you are purchasing. If you are interested in a specific wood species please email me. Our inventory changes frequently, because I produce these puzzles on such a small scale. Popular puzzles may be temporarily out of stock, but orders can always be placed for shipping when inventory is restored.
I hope you enjoy our puzzles and, of course, I am always looking for suggestions for improvements or even for new puzzles! Questions about my puzzles are always welcome too! May you solve every puzzle just before you give up puzzles for good.
Workshop is complete - Making Puzzles Soon?

What’s on the Workbench
We had no spring here in New Jersey and now it seems like it’s summer. So I am spending a good deal of time getting the yard and house ready for summer instead of in the shop. This will change and I am working on a few new Stewart Coffin puzzles and a Bill Cutler classic. Hopefully within the next week or two puzzles will go up for sale.
I make many of my prototype puzzles a fairly small size. I figure if I can make it about 1 inch in size, I can make it 4 inches a little easier and better. I usually give these away at shows to kids who cannot afford to buy a full size puzzle. Since I have cut back on my shows, I will occasionally be dropping these into my shipments to buyers. Check the bottom of your box carefully, if you place an order. You never know what you might find.
Yoshikazu Tanii wrote me that he received his puzzle and was really enjoying it. I love doing this kind of thing, another contest is in the works!
