Description

I spotted this design on Ishino’s site early this year and decided to make a copy. The designer is unknown and features one solution in the 4x4x4 box that I made for it. It also features only one solution in a flat 8x8 configuration.

Both solutions contain voids making this a very tricky solve and I also made extra cubes that can be used in the solve but not really sure if that helps or hinders your progress? (See last photo)

Maple was used from an antique upright piano with Padauk Slipfeathers.

Contains a printed solutions sheet, signed and dated.

Shipping cost to be calculated at end of auction.

Gouge Packing Puzzle - Gaétan Gouge by John Devost

I previously made a few of this surprisingly difficult packing puzzle by Gaétan and at the time I didn’t have any contact info for him but then a few years ago I was surprised by one of his puzzle purchases in ‘Paradise’.My plan was to make another run but life kinda’ took a turn so now I’ve managed to sort myself out and began making another run.Allard kindly blogged about the copies I made in 2014, here’s an excerpt:https://allardspuzzlingtimes.blogspot.com/2014/04/gouge-packing-p...
