I like puzzles but I think the real challenge with them is to really make them pop and stand out. I've made a few and am wondering if I want to get into making more. They're nice projects when you have smaller leftover bits of different wood species laying around. They look nicer, to me anyway, when they are a mix of woods.

There's a company in New Zealand called Tarata that does this very well. Google "Tarata Balancing Animals" to find them. You've probably seen their stuff on pinterest. They do a very good job of colouring the animals well and shaping them so that they can stack together in interesting and creative ways.

Anyway. I'm always looking forward to what you'll come up with John.
