The Shapes

The shapes shown on this website are a selection of the two thousand plus that Peter has designed over the last thirty years. Some – like the geometrical shapes and the more popular animals – have been made many times, whilst some have been made just once.

Apart from the photographed puzzles (which have their actual dimensions quoted), the figures are approximately to the samescale: as a guide, the Oval in the abstract section is about 90mm wide. The puzzles are usually four pieces deep – between 40 and 45mm.

The letter in parentheses indicates into which price category each puzzle falls, for use with the Puzzles price list.
