Diagonal Cube
Stewart Coffin's Diagonal Cube, number 58 in his list of designs. This copy is made of Gaboon Ebony, Macassar Ebony, and a center of Cherry. Stewart made about 20 of these puzzles in fancy woods from 1981-1985. This puzzle has a fantastic fit and finish. Nearly perfect in every way, as all corners meet up nicely when assembled, it has a real "wow" factor. Puzzle has my signature on the internal part of a piece. Buyers assume actual PayPal fees and Shipping costs.

Fancy This!
Stewart Coffin's Fancy This! puzzle, number 115-A in his list of designs. This copy is made of Purpleheart and Imbuya. Stewart made about 8 of these puzzles in 1996 and it was used as an exchange puzzle at IPP-17, crafted by Wayne Daniel. In #115 , Stewart used four different woods to aid in the solution. The -A suffix comes from the fact that this version is made of one external wood, which makes the puzzle more difficult. The first step in solving this 7 piece puzzle involves a tricky coo...

Wooden cube - 3D jigsaw cut 27 pieces - Keith Winegar
Wooden cube, jigsaw-cut, 27 pieces, 4 inches wide, from Keith Winegar Puzzle Works, 1994. Little sheet comes with it, but doesn't give you any instructions (not like you need them; it's a 3D jigsaw, after all). Not sure what wood this is, somewhat redish in color, not super-dense. Looks nice. Easy beginner puzzle for your non-puzzleist friends.

Stewart Coffin 111-D
Stewart Coffin's unnamed puzzle, number 111-D in his list of designs. This copy is made of Cherry and East Indian Rosewood. Stewart made one in 1995. Made of two kinds of pieces, three of each. Requires patience and coordinate motion to assemble. Related to Lost and Found, sold in the last auction, and Lucky Star, available in this auction. More confusing to disassemble than the other puzzles in the 111-X family. A neat and very rare Coffin design. The fit and finish are very good. ...

Twelve Piece Separation
Stewart Coffin's 12 Piece Separation puzzle, number 85 in his list. This copy is made of Imbuya, a fragrant wood from South America sometimes referred to as South American Walnut. Stewart made about 30 of these puzzles from 1988-1992. I sold several on this website a couple years ago and this is a leftover from that lot. A very tricky puzzle to assemble as it requires a lot of "back and forth" movement of pieces. Signed by me on the inside of the puzzle. Buyers assume actual PayPal fees and...

Sweet Deceiver
This is actually one of the 2 copies that were entered in the IPP Design Competition 2008.
Since Scott Peterson moved shortly after these puzzles were finished, the production of a small batch - as planned - had to be postponed. And when it will become available it will probably not be the way this one is, but rather in the shape of the first stellation. OK, that would make the puzzle a bit harder, but at the same time take away 'the history' of the puzzle as it is in fact something between ...

QuadraHex Prism
This was literally my copy of my design entry at IPP23 in 2003. This copy was put on display at the competition. It came back to me a little nicked up and a little bit looser, but all in all, it is still in pretty good shape. This copy is made of Bloodwood and Quilted Maple. I only made a few of this puzzle as there wasn't much demand for it. Made of six unique pieces, very similar to the Diagonal Cube. Assembled puzzle has the appearance of four intersecting hexagonal prisms. Puzzle h...

Permutated 3rd Stellation
Stewart Coffin's Permutated Third Stellation, unnumbered in his list of designs, but this is just an oversight and would likely be #50-C. This copy is made of Honduras Rosewood. Stewart did not make any of this particular design. Design published in his PWPD book p 91. Slightly more confusing than the Permutated 2nd Stellation (also for sale in this auction by another seller) simply because the arms are a little longer and the pieces more irregular. Two solutions exist. The fit and finis...
