“Four corners is another of Stewart Coffin’s Diagonal star based designs (this one made from Acacia and Wenge) and seems to be a less common one to be made. As before, this one comes apart into halves and then into 2 groups of 3 identical pieces that are just slightly different to the Triumph pieces. The difference is quite crucial and as a result, experimenting with this one, I tried to establish whether there are any other assemblies and as far as I can fathom the rotational symmetry of the pieces means that only the 4 cornered assembly is possible. Again, it is a delightfully perfect fit as they are all slid together and apart. It did occur to me to try and mix the pieces up from the four corners and the Triumph and see whether they would fit together and then whether it would be nice. This really opened up some wonderful new shapes to be explored. It is well worthwhile thinking about buying both the diagonal star based puzzles together for this reason.”
