This review is from: Puzzles in wood

As a longtime subscriber to "Journal of Recreational Mathematics" and a reader of puzzle books, I have seen many puzzles that involve dissection and reassembly. Therefore, I took an immediate interest to this book when I encountered it in a used bookstore. It was designed to be a book of problems for students in a woodworking shop, and many of the creations are identical to what I have seen in print.
The puzzles start fairly simply but quickly reach the point where significant woodworking talent would be needed to make them. If you are looking for challenging and interesting projects in woodworking, this book contains enough to keep you busy for some time. Also, properly done, the products will keep anyone trying to solve the puzzles engaged for a significant length of time.
