Limited Editions: In the past, the term 1st Edition and 2nd
Edition were use to describe a batch or batches of boxes made in a single Limited Edition design. The terminology has been confusing for us and our customers. To clarify, Randal Gatewood and Scott Richards (Cleverwood Fine Woodworking) have
collaborated and defined what "Limited Edition" means. In addition, "Unlimited Edition" is a term that has been added to describe items that are not offered as a limited edition.
The follow is provided as an explanation of
the applicable conditions for each of
these offerings.

Limited Editions
Puzzle boxes produced in a maximum number of
60
(sixty)
of a specified style, design, puzzlistic value and
composition. All combined specified properties
comprise a Limited Edition.
One specified
limited edition may be produced in batches
represented as “1st batch”
and 2nd batch, etc.. Serial
numbers will run consecutively within the
complete Limited Edition of a specific design. Quantities produced in
each batch may vary depending on conditions
determined between, in this case, Quagmire Puzzle boxes and Cleverwood
Fine Woodworking.
Limited Editions
come with a Lifetime Warranty.
Limited Editions
come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Limited Editions
are serial numbered editions.
Limited Editions
are handcrafted.
|
|
Unlimited Editions
Puzzle boxes produced in
“unlimited” quantities.
May be made of
any variety of materials.
Unlimited versions may or may not
represent the puzzlistic characteristics of
a previous limited edition, i.e., if an unlimited
puzzle box design has a similar or same
puzzlistic characteristic, it will not be a replica
of the the original edition. This makes it possible for the designer to provide others with the same puzzlistic
experience. In some cases, as with very
complex puzzle boxes, this won't be a feasible option.
Lifetime Warranty
not provided.
Certificate of
Authenticity not provided.
Serial numbering
not provided.
Unlimited editions may or may not be
completely handmade.

A note from Randal G. / Quagmire Puzzle Boxes
It is my goal to create 2 to 3 new Limited Editions
puzzle box designs each year. Each of these
"Original" designs will be handmade using fine hardwoods and constructed for heirloom longevity. As one would image, manifesting
these boxes is a very timely process. This is really not a complaint but, simply a fact.
Weeks and even months are invested into developing just one perfect
working prototype. When a prototype is finally
tested and approved for a Limited Edition, each and
every box is completely handmade, piece by piece,
from the very first cut too the final hand waxing
and buffing. The result is a totally original puzzle
box that feels as unique as it looks.
Some designs are generated with the use of laser technology such as some of the intricate inlays we use.
My
future drawing board includes making more Unlimited Edition designs.
Some of these maybe based on some of the original concepts that I have developed. These puzzle boxes
will be produced so that more folks can own and experience
the Quagmire Puzzle Box concepts. Whether
you choose one of my limited or unlimited edition designs, every box is made to be used and enjoyed. With a Quagmire Puzzle Box, you will have a puzzle box like non other you will find anywhere!
We also offer
custom laser
engraving services
for our boxes and an assortment of other engravable items such as our
hardwood plaques and
much more.
