SPECIALIZING IN HAND CUT WOODEN (MDF) JIGSAW PUZZLES

PUZZLES ARE COMPLETELY HAND MADE AND EACH

PUZZLE PIECE IS INDIVIDUALLY HAND CUT

  
I cut my jigsaw puzzles by hand from 3mm (1/8” nominal) medium density fiberboard (MDF) panels. 
This material is typically used as a wall covering in many homes.
MDF is an engineered wood product made from natural wood fibers.  Because MDF is made from waste wood it is eco-friendly.

The pictures are bonded to the wood panel and then each puzzle piece is hand cut using an electric scroll saw that is fitted with a very fine 0.008” blade, NOT a laser or water jet cutter controlled by a computer.  The puzzles are then assembled to insure that all pieces are present and of the highest quality.  A final coat of matte finish lacquer is applied and the puzzles are disassembled and packaged.

The puzzles consist of 294 or 216 fully interlocking pieces cut in the traditional knob and socket style.  When assembled the puzzles measure approximately 10.5” x 15.75”, almost a standard 11” x 17” paper size.  The puzzles averages 1.8 pieces per square inch for the 294 piece puzzles and 1.3 pieces per square inch for the 216 piece puzzles.  Because of the relatively small piece size, the 294 piece puzzles are crafted for adults and older children, but the pieces are not so small as to be a problem to elderly adults without sight or dexterity impediments. The 216 piece puzzles offer larger pieces for adults who may have sight or dexterity problems and for children who know the danger of putting puzzle pieces in their mouths.

WARNING!  THESE  PUZZLES ARE NOT SUITED FOR YOUNG CHILDREN DUE TO A POSSIBLE CHOKING HAZARD ON SMALL PIECES.

The puzzles are shipped disassembled and a handmade draw string storage/travel pouch is included along with a laminated 4”x 6” picture of the puzzle. Pouch pattern and material may be different than the pictures at the top of my pages.

Although these are new puzzles, they may have minor blemishes due to hand crafting.  These blemishes occur very rarely and should not detract from the many years of enjoyment these puzzles will provide.  The drawstring pouch makes packing these puzzles convenient for vacation or business travel.
