(5 pieces, Wenge & Zebrawood, 2+5/8" x 2+5/8" x 1.75" inches)

Three standard burr shaped pieces fit into a box formed by the two Wenge (dark) pieces. Here is what the puzzle maker said:

"La Taupe is a fairly simple puzzle with a level 9 solution but I found the shape and concept so interesting that I had to try making it. I'm glad I did, the solution is fun and more confusing than you might imagine with a mere five pieces. The contrast between the Wenge and Zebrawood is beautiful. This guy is a little gem! Construction of this puzzle is outstanding, with shouldered board construction and solid milled burr pieces. Fit is excellent."
