3-D Art Puzzles

Vintage Fender Guitar
Vintage Fender Guitar 3-D Art Puzzle by Teton Craft Works

 

A unique features of my endeavors with Teton Craft Works is to bridge the gap between the art world and puzzledom to the point where the line is truly blurred. Why?

 

The first reason is that I love to make wood sculptures. Other reasons are they are challenging to create, beautiful to look at, and fun to put together. The ‘art’ of making of puzzle is deciding how to cut the layers of wood, what size each layer should be and how each piece is shimmed out to create the desired 3-D effect of realism.

 

The second fundamental reason is that I want to make art affordable in a way that draws interest and fascination from the onlooker.

 

This is my latest creation, a Fender guitar which I made for my son Stephen(who actually owns the real thing). Enjoy!
