Description



I’m offering up my personal copy of Alexander’s awesome puzzle design.

I was originally given permission to make a small run of this design, I only made a half dozen with this one being the last one I have available.


It comes with a 6x6 tray configuration made from Black Limba with a Red Zebrawood bottom.  Slipfeathers are Leopardwood.  Pieces are a mix of Canarywood, Cherry and Makore.


Here’s Alexander’s description:


“First of my ‘Darwin puzzles’ starting with one cube, the next piece is the previous one with one cube added.”  

Main challenge: 

6x6 square - 1 solution 

9x4 rectangle - 4 solutions


Other possible challenges in blue with number of solutions, (see last photo):

Left to right: 12, 11, 6, 4, 3, 2


Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

11 ‘F’ Pentominominoes by John Devost
I spotted this design on Ishino’s site early this year and decided to make a copy.  The designer is unknown and features one solution in the 4x4x4 box that I made for it.  It also features only one solution in a flat 8x8 configuration.Both solutions contain voids making this a very tricky solve and I also made extra cubes that can be used in the solve but not really sure if that helps or hinders your progress? (See last photo)Maple was used from an antique upright piano with Padauk Slipfea...

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...
