Description


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 very special version has been made using some incredibly expensive Ebony!  Slipfeathers are Holly.  Only two copies were made with the other copy made for a fellow puzzle Designer/Collector.


The entire puzzle has been ‘triple buffed’ giving it a very nice sheen.


Overall size is a little over 4”x 3”x3”


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

Convolution - Stewart Coffin by John Devost
This is my favourite cube design by Stewart and I’ve crafted countless copies over the years, however this particular copy was made entirely from Maple.  I made this one in January and I was quite fond of the puzzling nature of it being made from one type of wood as it definitely makes it much more difficult to disassemble and of course incredibly difficult to reassemble!I also made a two-piece stand using the same Maple harvested from an antique upright piano.Comes with printed solution she...

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...

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I originally made a small amount of this wonderful design in 2006 (sold at CubicDissection) and thought I might make a few more copies.This particular copy is crafted from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