Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles

• Stave Puzzles, "Okay, let's talk elegance - each piece of every Stave wooden jigsaw puzzle is cut by hand! That's right, we craft our puzzles with saw blades as thin as horsehair, and cut each puzzle one at a time, piece by piece. No two wooden jigsaw puzzles are cut exactly alike. They can take days to cut this way, but it's the only way . . . if it's a Stave puzzle. As for fun - Stave puzzles are loaded with extras you won't find in any other wooden jigsaw puzzles - personalized pieces, word games, riddles, tricks, and our trademark Stave clown, dated and signed with the initials of the crafter." Steve Richardson, President

• Conrad Armstrong's Artistic Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles "I would like to introduce you to my hobby, which is making artistic wooden jigsaw puzzles. Hand-cut wooden jigsaw puzzles are a whole different experience than today's cheap cardboard puzzles. I consider my puzzles as art, which can be assembled and enjoyed over and over again. A wooden puzzle is extremely strong and will not bend or break when put under the same stress that breaks cardboard puzzles. Wooden puzzles which were cut in the 1920's are still being used today; I like to think that the puzzles I cut today will become family heirlooms to be enjoyed for many decades."
