Oskar Knot 12

This is one of Oskar van Deventer's classic puzzle designs. I found the plans on the Pacific Puzzleworks's site.

I did not have to much experiences with making of wooden puzzles, but I thought this simple structure would worth a try.

Wooden Salt Holder

I made a salt holder for my mother as a gift. The design was quite simple, but still nicer than her old plastic one.

It was made of a piece of pear wood which was cut out from her garden last year. Firstly I cut a block of wood and than saw around the shape. Then I shaped to the final form with chisels and carving knifes. At the end it was sanded and covered with oil. It was not too complicated and can be done within some hours.
