Description

This 5 piece cube design by Stewart came about shortly after his ‘Pillars of Hercules’ design, and it would ultimately lead to his infamous ‘Computer Killer’ puzzle.

I decided to make this one without the ‘trick’ as it’s a difficult enough solve as is.

Pieces are Jatoba with a Box and Lid made from Leopardwood with Maple Slipfeathers. There’s also two sleeves, one is Yellowheart and the other is Holly.

Everything is ‘triple buffed’ to a nice sheen.

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

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I originally made a small amount of this wonderful design in 2006 (sold at CubicDissection) and thought I might make a few more copies.This particular copy is crafted from Maple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...
