Five Woods - Stewart Coffin Design #177-A by John Devost

I’m offering up this cool tray packing puzzle designed by Stewart.

Pieces are Bloodwood, Zebrawood, Canarywood, Yellowheart and Black Palm.  

Tray is Canarywood with Leopardwood Slipfeathers.

Here’s Stewart’s description:

“In case you haven’t already discovered, polyominoes is the name given to puzzle pieces made of squares joined different ways. A popular recreation is to fit them snugly into a square or rectangular tray. The long-time popularity of this pastime 

opens up opportunity for puzzle makers to exploit it by surreptitiously deviating 

from the regular grid. In this puzzle, all pieces are rotated by arctan ½, which is 26.6 degrees. With two pieces alike and two symmetrical it is not as difficult as some others, but an entertaining pastime and quite nice to contemplate and play with when made in five colorful woods.”

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
