The puzzle is to fit all eight different puzzle pieces inside the frame in a checkered pattern. Seven are already in the frame. The eighth one is packaged behind the frame. Yes, they do all fit inside the square frame, no force, no trick!

An original Stewart Coffin design, numbered STC223, not previously made.

Size: 95mm x 95mm x 13mm

To make the pieces for this puzzle we used a technique similar to the way the Japanese craftsman make the Yosegi on puzzle boxes. A profile for each piece was made using Western Australian Jarrah and Queensland Silver Ash and then sliced. The base is made of Western Australian Jarrah.
