Thank you for visiting and as always, have fun puzzling!
This puzzle 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.
This is a one-of-a-kind original art hand painted puzzle!
Artwork is painted directly onto the wood, no paper is used in this puzzle!
Many brush strokes in the painting, combined with the artistically hand cut shapes, make each puzzle piece beautiful and unique.
Both the hand painted art, and the tricky Puzzlemonk cuts, are created with the puzzler in mind to make assembling your puzzles enjoyable time and time again.
Assembling Puzzlemonk puzzles always includes the whole process of seeking both COLOR & SHAPE clues.
One of a kind original art, hand painted directly onto the wood with high quality permanent, waterproof, light fast pigments; protected with a final coat of professional quality non-yellowing art varnish.
Painted puzzles are even longer lasting than paper covered puzzles. Each puzzle is signed by the artist.
The depths, tones and shimmers of the colors are more brilliant and vibrant than the photographs are able to show!

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 outside of the box, along with the puzzle name. The puzzle number, year of creation, and number of pieces are wood burned inside of the box lid.
Included in this puzzle:
Color-line cutting (Cutting along the edge of a color in the print)
Fake edge pieces (Many pieces that look like edge pieces but are really interior pieces)
Tricky edge pieces (About half of the edge pieces look like interior pieces)
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 a signed piece.
I create my puzzles to be challenging and intriguing by including many 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 ΒΌ 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.
