I’m offering up this very cool puzzle, it’s one of my favourite from Ken. Brian crafted this particular copy from Marblewood and Holly.

I made a special Box with Lid made from Leopardwood featuring Maple Inlays. Sleeve is also Maple.

Comes with original packaging.

Here's what Brian at Wood Wonders said:

"All I need to say is "Ken Irvine" and you know that this puzzle is great. Ken's designs are always amazing. This design had me scratching my head for days. It seemed so simple! What am I missing? Then one day, Aha!!!! A terrific design!"

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

This classic design was one of my earliest puzzle builds in the early 2000’s that I made for Bill Cutler.It features 18 pieces with four solutions, however finding one will definitely keep you busy for some time!I’ve always wanted to revisit it but in a smaller scale, I used a 3/16” unit size with the overall size being approximately 6” x 4”.The woods used were salvaged from an old upright piano from the 1920’s that I layed out the keys in a wall hanging (see last photo).

Singmaster Packing - David Singmaster (1971) by John Devost

This design by Professor Singmaster (sadly passed away in 2023) was my very first puzzle offering at CubicDissection back in 2005, it’s 25 pieces that can be packed in the box 22 ways.I was going through my ‘Salvaged Piano Wood’ (see last photo of my keyboard wall hanging, that I made from our upright piano that was produced in the ‘roaring ‘20’s!), so I figured I’d make more of this classic puzzle with this antique lumber.As always everything gets my ‘triple buffing finish’ th...

Tube It In - William Strijbos by John Devost

It seems hard to believe that it's been almost 20 years since I first made a small run of this clever packing puzzle design in 2006. William has graciously allowed me to offer up another run as there were only a dozen copies made in 2006.The original metal version was William’s exchange puzzle at the IPP21 in Tokyo.This version is made using many wood varieties and includes a Stand. The entire puzzle has been ‘triple buffed’ giving it a very nice sheen.Overall size is a little over 4...

Four-Piece Serially Interlocking Cube & Modified 3-Piece version - Stewart Coffin Design #93 by John Devost

I’ve made so many of this design that I can’t even remember how many, it’s one of my favourites of Stewart’s designs. I often would make them when making a fresh batch of wood sticks for cube designs and when I last did that I mistakenly glued up a version that ended up being only 3 pieces instead of 4. I’m offering it up here as well as a correct 4 piece version both in Maple.Second photo shows the pieces of the 4 piece version.Both copies have been triple buffed as always and c...
