Half Lid Box

DESIGNER: Hajime Katsumoto MATERIAL: Maple/Walnut CLASSIFICATION: Assembly SIZE: 2.7" x 1.8" (6.86 x 4.57cm) The artisan series is being discontinued; once these puzzles are gone they will not be remade. Half Lid Box by the famous Hajime Katsumoto is a similar challenge to Obstacle Box. With only two layers and one slider, you'd think it was easier. You'd be thinking wrong in this case...while there are fewer pieces, the smaller opening necessitates rotational moves which greatly complicate assembly. Construction of this puzzle is very sturdy with shouldered edges and milled, solid pieces. This puzzle is shipped disassembled. This item is sold out and no longer available.
