Description


I’m offering this special puzzle I made for my collection last year, it’s obviously the very familiar 12 piece pentominos however the solid Canarywood box has been made with a 2x5x6 configuration.  There are many ways to pack them in the box (264 solutions) but as is usually the case none are easy to find!


Pieces are a mix of Maple and Jatoba (3/4” cubes), while the box is Canarywood with a Maple Sleeve (removable).  The outside of the box features multiple grooves with Leopardwood Inlays.  Everything has been ‘triple buffed’ to a nice sheen.


Approximate overall size is 3”x5”x5.5” - (see last photo showing the sizing hamster)


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

Convolution - Stewart Coffin by John Devost
This is my favourite cube design by Stewart and I’ve crafted countless copies over the years, however this particular copy was made entirely from Maple.  I made this one in January and I was quite fond of the puzzling nature of it being made from one type of wood as it definitely makes it much more difficult to disassemble and of course incredibly difficult to reassemble!I also made a two-piece stand using the same Maple harvested from an antique upright piano.Comes with printed solution she...

Five Woods - Stewart Coffin by John Devost
I made several copies of this very tricky design by Stewart and thought I’d make a few more.This copy is made from wood that I salvaged from an antique upright piano with Padauk Slipfeathers.Everything has been ‘triple buffed’.Here’s an excerpt from Stewart:“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...

Pentominoes in a Rectangle - David Klarner by John Devost
I stumbled upon this neat puzzle design as I was using up some maple from an antique upright piano.There are 4 solutions to this puzzle and finding one is not very difficult, however trying to find all four is another story.This is a one off copy with Padauk slipfeathers.Comes with printed solutions sheet, signed and dated.Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

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...
