Taken from Stewart Coffin's Ap-Art compendium:
"This is the first in a long and seemingly unending family of designs that start with the basic Star geometry, with parts then added on judiciously. It is made in four contrasting fancy woods plus a fifth for the center blocks. Here in tulipwood, oak, purpleheart, and rosewood, with center blocks of poplar. When assembled correctly, each “corner” is one kind of wood. R indicates right-handed prism block (see Appendix). In the second drawing, the permutated numbers stand for different colors. An IPP exchange."
This copy was excellently crafted by Tom Lensch from Yellowheart, Canarywood, Bloodwood, Moradillo, and Mahogany. The fit is outstanding and a joy to assemble, typical of Tom's craftsmanship.
Note: Four Corners ships in the solved configuration. This copy has noticeable cosmetic defects such as a few dings and dents and a scuff mark, as well as light UV color fading. See photos for detail.

These puzzles are extras and oddballs that have accumulated in the shop. Sometimes when we make a run of puzzles we will have a few with different woods, etc. which are too much trouble to list individually on the website. These puzzles are all in new condition and fully functional.
