Description

I only ever made two of these puzzles for the IPP Design Competition (San Francisco) in 2009.  It’s a fun puzzle that can be very confusing to assemble from pieces even if you see the assembled shape.

Several years ago Scott Peterson (at my insistence) made a very nice run of them and later Tom Lensch (at John Rausch’s insistence) made a run, with some featuring Holly, Ebony and Rosewood!

I recently was able to acquire some 1/2” size stock and decided to make a few.  This can be considered my first puzzle project in over seven years and over 12 years since I first made any ‘Barb’s Cube’ puzzles!

I suppose you could call these mini or pocket size, although they are not micro like Allan Boardman puzzles.  I used a variety of woods in many different patterns, my favourite are the ‘Checkered Cube’ version but the design looks really nice in any combination.

I lacquered and hand buffed them with a coat of ‘Conservators Wax’ to make them pop.  This Puzzle was named after my loving wife Barb.


Woods used in this copy are:

Padauk/Maple/Oak/Ash/Poplar


Puzzle ships disassembled with information sheet.
