Description



This is another example of Stewart tinkering with his designs and I’m grateful that he did as I had made some of this original design quite a few years ago so when I noticed that it was updated to have only one solution I decided to make a few copies, with a couple available to sell.


Everything is ‘Triple Buffed’ even the Box interior.  In lieu of Slipfeathers I decided to use Maple wrapped Inlays.


This particular copy has the following woods:


Pieces are Maple & Zebrawood

Box is Leopardwood with Maple Inlays

Sleeve is Maple (removable)


Here’s  Stewart’s description:


“This is not just another five piece dissection of the 3x3x3 cube. It rewards the solver 

with symmetrical patterns of the dissimilar colorful woods on all six faces.


The original design was found to have three solutions with the improved design with 

only one solution.”


Please note that puzzle will need to be shipped via UPS due to Canada Post’s work stoppage.


Shipping to be determined at close of auction.

Payment via PayPal or Wise, I also accept E-Transfers within Canada.

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 much smaller scale.  This size is small enough to fit in a pocket so definitely not as tiny as Allan Boardman’s version!As always everything is given my ‘Triple Buffing’ process making for smooth buttery finish.Crafted from Canarywood...

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...

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...
