Description

When I first received Bart Buie’s version of this design it struck me how it uses similar bar pieces that are prominent in Barb’s Cube. I thought I’d make one alongside the run of Barb’s Cube to see how it would look. It definitely makes it look different using cube pieces in varying lengths and so I won’t be making any similar.

To read more about this design please see my Blog for a review of Bart Buie’s wonderful version:

This copy can be considered a prototype of sorts for this design.

I lacquered, and buffed it to a nice sheen.

I’m including a Specially made Laminated 3-Piece Stand to display the puzzle. (I was inspired by Juno’s ‘Plumply’ puzzle!)

Walnut and Padauk was used for both the puzzle & Stand

This was Henry Strout's IPP 41 Exchange puzzle in Houston, Texas.This packing puzzle has a ‘Train’ theme with the goal of packing six pieces into the box, however they all won’t fit in the box, with an opening at one end you literally have to ‘think outside the box’.Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
