The Puzzling Desk of Mike Snyder

I am not a woodcarver; maybe you could call me a wood artist.  While a few of my projects do incorporate woodcarving, I use a number of woodworking techniques to make my creations – most of which are mechanical puzzles.
The first five projects shown here were all made to go with the club’s tree for the 2020 Festival of Trees.  The sled was the tree topper.
My puzzles are on shelves of collectors around the world as well as museums in the US, England and Mongolia.
