This is a new, one-of-a-kind, PuZzLeMoNk puzzle. All of my puzzles are completely hand-cut, one piece at a time, in my own unique abstract cutting style. I attempt to make each piece a little work of art. Some feedback about my puzzles: “Love your puzzles! Beautiful craftsmanship, intricate, and such a nice box.”, “Absolutely beautiful, a treasure.”, “Unique, quality puzzle! Tightest fitting wood pieces ever and fast shipping!”

This is a carefully crafted beautiful wood puzzle that is made to last for generations. The uniquely shaped, close fitting pieces are a pleasure to assemble time and time again. The puzzle contains my signed signature piece figural (pieces that are made in the shape of something that has to do with the theme of the puzzle).
As I cut each piece, I am looking at the picture, making constant changes to make the puzzle more interesting and tricky. I may choose for example, to follow the edge of a color in the print (known as “color line cutting”) or perhaps create a false edge where the colors look like those on the edge of the picture.
This jigsaw puzzle is fun and intriguing for any jigsaw puzzler. It contains deceptive edge pieces, false edge pieces and color-line cutting. My abstract cutting style uses many knobs, arrows, bones, and appendages in close fitting earlets, as I endeavor to make each piece into a little wooden sculpture. (See photo.)
The puzzle has been hand-cut from beautiful 1/4 inch 5-ply Baltic birch using ultra fine blades with a thickness of only 0.007 inches. These blades are about 20% thinner than those used by some other puzzle-makers. These Swiss made blades make for a very enjoyable tighter fitting puzzle. (See photo.) The puzzle is not suitable for very young children as it could present a choking hazard.
The puzzle comes disassembled inside a lidded wooden box with a secure metal clasp as shown in the photo. The PuZzleMonK logo is hand wood burned on the box, along with the puzzle name and the number of pieces.
