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.


This particular copy has the following woods:


Pieces are Black Palm, Bloodwood and Maple. Box is Red Zebrawood with a Maple sleeve.  The bottom is Canarywood with Wenge inlays.

Box does not have a lid so you can display the puzzle.


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.”


Shipping to be determined at close of auction.

Tube It In 2 - William Hu by John Devost
I’m sure everyone is quite familiar with William Strijbos’ original Tube It In design so I don’t think I need to give a lengthy description but should say that William Hu came up with a novel design twist on this awesome puzzle and he has graciously allowed me to make a small run.I’ve long since left the puzzle scene after completely retiring, however I did finish up a select few of these and thought I’d offer them up for sale.This puzzle is crafted from Padauk with Yellowheart Slipfea...

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...

Gouge Packing Puzzle - Gaétan Gouge by John Devost
I previously made a few of this surprisingly difficult packing puzzle by Gaétan and at the time I didn’t have any contact info for him but then a few years ago I was surprised by one of his puzzle purchases in ‘Paradise’.My plan was to make another run but life kinda’ took a turn so now I’ve managed to sort myself out and began making another run.Allard kindly blogged about the copies I made in 2014, here’s an excerpt:https://allardspuzzlingtimes.blogspot.com/2014/04/gouge-packing-p...

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...
