Waraporn Khamsuk artisan crafted wooden games and tableware

"I'm Waraporn Khamsuk and I was born in 1990 in Northern Thailand. I'm the eldest daughter in the family, and I grew up with the wooden games my father crafted. I'd watch him select wood, dry it naturally and assemble to complete a game. They are challenging and fun — something you'll never find in computer games.

"My father founded our family's game workshop. At one time, he worked at a factory that produced bamboo skewers for meatballs. Then, the factory began to take orders for wooden games, and my father was allowed to work from home to earn extra income.

"The factory saw that he put his best efforts into creating games that needed careful crafting of wooden joints. It was completely different from making skewers, which is repetitious as they are all the same.

"When he didn't have any orders from the factory, he began creating new games. Then, he started to gain his own customers.

"He created brain teasers, interlocking puzzles and wooden board games.

"My favorites are the wooden games because I grew up with them. They teach me to think, plan and concentrate, and I apply these skills in my everyday life. Although technology has taken over life today, I'm still charmed by wooden games.

"Creating them and crafting them are the precious legacy my father left me. He died in an accident in 2012 while I was at the university. I dedicated all of my spare time to keeping our workshop going.

"Along with the wooden games, we now craft wooden tableware. People appreciate the beauty and the uniqueness of the natural wood pattern.

"I studied how to design plates and was guided in this by the artisans who work with us. We don't use any artificial or chemical finishes to our tableware. The more a piece is used and washed, the more beautiful it becomes, especially when food is arranged over it."

Ernest The set was really interesting and the different puzzles came with a guide to assist in solving. My only concern was that the lid of the wooden box holding the puzzles separated a little at the joints on on one side probably related to difference in humidity between my location and the source. Otherwise I was quite pleased.

Merle What a neat very well made simple fun and amazing game! It is perfect for coffee table or any other spot that will attract attention by its cool looks and very interesting and challenging game. Beautiful wood that draws people to wonder "What is this fascinating little object?" To me, it is not as easy as one would think it would be. But once you begin, the fun 'hooks' you and it's hard to put down or stop trying. Impressive, most impressive.

Men can be hard to buy for. This was a great gift because it looked attractive just sitting out, like a piece of decor, but also gave him things to fiddle with in idle moments -- particularly useful, as he was trying to quit smoking.

The puzzles themselves are challenging and have distinct mechanisms/ solutions. What makes this amazing, though, is the feel and the appearance of the wood. The experience of handling these puzzles is particularly pleasant due to the materials used.

Only one of these have I successfully disassembled and reassembled on my own. One of them I disassembled and got the principal to reassemble it before looking it up, but it's monstrously hard to do even when you know how unless you have three or four hands. If that were the only puzzle I would deduct a star or two for that, but all the others are well designed and can be disassembled and reassembled with only two hands. All of these puzzles are quite clever and the pieces fit together quite well. This would make a great gift for someone who has children who like puzzles I imagine.

Well made, this collection of puzzles made a great gift. The wooden box makes it a great organizer so that you can keep it out on a table. We have to admit that we needed to use the hint pages for one of the puzzles.The fit of the pieces is very good. My only wish is that they were a bit smoother finish. We gift one of these puzzles to each "host" when we camp along with a copy of the appropriate hint as a thank you gift. Being handmade, they always seem to bring a smile.

What a neat very well made simple fun and amazing game! It is perfect for coffee table or any other spot that will attract attention by its cool looks and very interesting and challenging game. Beautiful wood that draws people to wonder "What is this fascinating little object?" To me, it is not as easy as one would think it would be. But once you begin, the fun 'hooks' you and it's hard to put down or stop trying. Impressive, most impressive.

These are very nicely machined 3-D wood puzzles and come in a snug-fitting 7-5/8 X 5-1/4 X 2-1/2 inch box. All 6 of the puzzles are challenging and fairly simple "Burr Puzzle" to the complex "Square Cube" which requires a 28 step solution. There is an included "solution" sheet with simple graphic depictions of the puzzle configurations for the assembly steps (solutions) for 5 of the 6 puzzles. However, the illustrations are very small, there are no written step-by-step instructions, and it is difficult to understand some of the illustrations. These are probably best purchased for an adult who is very patient, and who is able to do some independent on-line research for help with the solutions. A separate sheet with more detailed instructions for each puzzle's solution would be welcome for those who need a little help. I'd be hesitant to give this set to anyone less then 13 years old unless they are already a 3D puzzle expert and also have above average spatial visualization skills.

I love this little puzzle. The quality of the natural wood and the precision of the shapes is wonderful! Many people talk about relieving stress by doing yoga or meditating. I love having a natural hands-on tool to help with relaxation. This puzzle helps me to let go of tension & just have fun rearranging the pieces. It's very soothing. I highly recommend this puzzle as a manipulative work of art and as a meditative instrument for relaxation.
