Long & Short - Stewart Coffin Design #20-D by Bart Buie

I received this puzzle recently and i have to admit that my puzzle work pales in comparison to Bart’s superior craftsmanship!  The puzzle just begs to be picked up and played with, the fit and the ‘Bleached Wenge’ is a first for me, it really looks cool!

Here’s an excerpt from Jerry’s Blog:

“This is an interesting Stewart Coffin designed puzzle that was exchanged by Rob Jones at IPP37 in Paris this past August. It’s also my first “pin-hole” puzzle from Coffin. Looking at the photos you will probably realise why its called Long & Short. This design is designated STC 20-D. Outwardly, the Long & Short looks like an ordinary six-piece burr made out of exotic wood (in this case its Wenge) but really its an interlocking puzzle of sorts using a combination of pins inserted into holes.”
