All of the secret boxes on this page feature multi-wood inlays. They are
each crafted from solid cherry hard wood and have a soft but protective finish.
A secret box could be considered
to be a one move puzzle box - these boxes are crafted so meticulously
that their hand-fit dovetail lids remain a visual mystery to the untrained eye. Once the
dovetail lid is discovered, it can be opened by sliding it away to reveal a hidden
compartment.
“A mechanical puzzle is a self-contained object, composed
of one or more parts, which involves a problem for one person to solve by manipulation
using logic, reasoning, insight, luck, and/or dexterity.” - Jerry Slocum
