Description

This design by Stephane features 6 burr pieces (Padauk) and 6 sliders (Purpleheart) in a frame (Sipo) with a level move count of 23.1.2.1.2.4.2.1.2.2.1.2. This one had me stumped as there are some very odd moves early on (very reminiscent of a lock picking technique) that I just couldn’t wrap my head around!

I made a Box which has a Yellowheart Sleeve (removable) with Wenge Slipfeathers - Top & Bottom are Purpleheart & Bird’s Eye Maple with Holly Slipfeathers.

As an added bonus I will include a diminutive copy of Stephane Chomine’s ‘Four in the Vice’ very nicely made by Maurice using Mahogany it features a level move count of 12.1.2.1.2.

Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.

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.

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 smaller scale, I used a 3/16” unit size with the overall size being approximately 6” x 4”.The woods used were salvaged from an old upright piano from the 1920’s that I layed out the keys in a wall hanging (see last photo).

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...

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...
