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...

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...

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...

Pentablock - Stewart Coffin Design #2 by John Devost
I’ve been wanting to make this design for years and now after decades making puzzles finally made a copy using some of my Salvaged Piano Wood.One of the first puzzles that I purchased from Interlocking Puzzles (Wayne Daniel - RIP) in early 2000 was this familiar 12 Piece Pentomino design.  I made a box to contain the 3x4x5 (3940 solutions) and the 2x5x6 (264 solutions) configuration.Everything has my ‘Triple Buff Finish’ and comes with printed solutions sheet.Shipping cost to be determin...
