Multigrain burr Stewart Coffin design STC 275-AS

Edward Hordern IPP Puzzle Exchange – Ottawa, Canada. August 2015.
Presented by Jerry Slocum. Designed by Stewart T. Coffin. Made by Mr Puzzle.

283 made.  Original Price: AU$27.50

 

Take the puzzle apart; mix up the pieces; then if you want a real challenge, wait some time (go for a walk around the block or something….) then try to put the 4 pieces back together again in this symmetrical pyramid shape.

The puzzle is sold assembled.  Even getting it apart can be tricky.  But no force at all is required to separate the pieces.

Even though it’s a symmetrical shape when it’s done; visualising that shape while you’re assembling the puzzle is extremely difficult even with the supplied photo of the finished puzzle.

An extension of the famous ‘Three Piece Block’ puzzle that Stewart is famous for; this one is just as hard if not harder than the original.

The puzzle is made from Papua New Guinean Rosewood and is accompanied by a printed solution with step by step photos of how to put the pieces together.

Size: 70mm x 70mm x 70mm
