What are abstract puzzle boxes?
Generally speaking my abstract boxes are made from unusual pieces of burl wood such as maple burl, buckeye burl or redwood burl. Burl woods often have as a feature a natural edge that comes from a cut at the outside of the tree. In each burl there is a limited number of pieces with a natural edge. Shown below are examples of boxes with and without a natural edge. They are only representative of the box you may actually receive since each box is made from a one of a kind burl. Boxes that are square or rectangular in shape without a natural edge will be a reasonable facsimile of the piece that is pictured.
