The Bookmark Box is the second concept in my “operated box” series following the Battery Operated Box. The final box is the Coin Operated Box (to be announced December 2023). Each in the series works entirely differently and has no relation to the other.
The Bookmark Boxes are made in three versions of increasing difficulty to solve: Walnut (easiest), Purpleheart (medium), and Cherry (difficult). All three boxes feature the same first trick move which utilizes something very unusual and unexpected. The limits of what you expect wood as a material can do are once again pushed a bit further. You will have to let go of your preconceptions in order to solve each Bookmark Box. Along the way you will also gain access to a functional bookmark. The pattern or "yosegi" on each bookmark is a hand-pulled veneer using a Japanese style wooden plane. It requires great skill and quite a bit of elbow grease on top of that! I broke a sweat pulling over 300 veneers for this project. |
