This is the sequel to the author's hugely popular "Puzzles in
Wood", which was reprinted by popular demand and which has been
selling for over 50 years. In this collection, some 46 puzzles are
just waiting to be made up and solved. They range from the simple
to quite challenging pieces for those craftsmen who like to take
pride in having their work fit snugly and accurately. A nest of
thirteen pieces of dollhouse furniture, bandsawn from a rectangular
block of wood, makes a striking demonstration of what can be done
on a bandsaw or scrollsaw. And the three-dimension jigsaw puzzle
makes a great variation on the conventional jigsaw. You can try
squaring triangles or making a triple dovetail puzzle, or the
eighteen piece double-cross. And when you have finished these
beauties go for the Marbles in a Maze! Happy puzzling!
