About my ratings

Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Mushrooms, Adolfe Millot

 Liberty, 743 pieces. This is a challenging Liberty puzzle, different from their usual. If no wooden puzzles were like this, it would be sad; if all wooden puzzles were like this, it would be more sad, because most people would be too frustrated to do them and the hobby would lose out a lot. My frustration tolerance is pretty high so I kept going, but even I resorted to using the numbers to help guide placement, although the numbers aren't exactly super regularly placed in the image so that was no panacea. The line cutting was a big help, though, and flipping it over revealed some nice whimsy design. 3/5



wiggly edge for extra gnashing of teeth




hope those books aren't AI generated mushroom guides
