Description


This puzzle is one of the first Alfons burr and I triple buffed it.


Here’s what I wrote about it at my blog:


I’m not sure why Alfons called this one ‘Trivia’ but I can certainly tell you that it is not ‘Trivial’ to disassemble!


I spent a fair bit of time trying to get past the first few moves until I finally found my way through to the path towards removing the first piece, after that the pieces come out rather handily.


This particular copy is signed and dated #2 - 4/2021


Woods used in this 8 piece burr appear to be Padauk and Sycamore with a level move count of 15.3.2.3 


Shipping cost will need to be determined at close of auction.

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...

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...

Christmas 2001 - Stewart Coffin #182 by John Devost
I originally made a small amount of this wonderful design in 2006 (sold at CubicDissection) and thought I might make a few more copies.This particular copy is crafted from Maple from an antique upright piano with Padauk slipfeathers.Stewart makes note of this particular version:“The Original Christmas has two design flaws - a piece duplicated and a symmetrical piece.  Both flaws have been corrected in this 2018 version.  Both versions have only one solution.”Entire puzzle has been ‘tri...
