Description


I’m offering up my copy of this cool design it features both the 3-colour and 4-colour variant along with a 2x3x4 Box and a 4x6 Tray.  


  • Piece wood variety for the 4-colour version are Purpleheart, Yellowheart, Redheart and Black Palm. 
  • Piece wood variety for the 3-colour version are Yellowheart, Bloodwood and Black Palm.


  • Box and Sleeve (removable) is Leopardwood with Black Limba Top & Bottom and Wenge Slipfeathers.
  • Tray is Padauk with Holly Slipfeathers and a Black Limba Sleeve (removable) and Bottom.


Please note that photos show the pieces in the ‘starting position’, I will ship/pack them in this configuration.



Here’s Stewart’s description:


“Five multi-colored solid polyominoes come assembled in a 4x6 tray, and 

the problem is to rearrange them so that no two like colors are next to each other, and also with color symmetry. A second 4x6 arrangement exists and also a unique 3x8 arrangement, but neither satisfies the requirements of symmetry. 

The solution is to pack them in the unique 2x3x4 solid arrangement. There are two different versions of this puzzle: three-color and four-color.”


Shipping to be determined at close of auction.

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...

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...

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...
