Master Craftsman Peter Chapman has developed a wonderful technique for carving single pieces of wood into three-dimensional puzzle sculptures that move and articulate like the animals they represent—and for an added touch of whimsy, each animal hides a prize inside its belly. The painstaking craftsmanship and unique sequential solving experience make these wooden artworks feel particularly special.

The Squirrel measures approximately 6" tall and is cut from Walnut with leather ears. Made in the USA.
