3-2-1 Square

A simple tray packing puzzle. Did I say simple? Sorry to mislead you. Ten pieces, made up of a 3x3 unit square and a varying number of 2x2 unit squares, pack into one large square. This is the first puzzle I have made in a while that only uses domestic woods. I knew these were going to take a long time to make so I was trying to keep the material costs low. Each puzzle is made from at least 4 of the following woods, Cherry, Ash, Walnut, Alder, Beech, Maple and Holly. The frames are both shouldered and splined with Holly.
