Soaring Freedom

 Enigma, 180 pieces. This one is also very tight-cut and apparently I forgot a picture of the unassembled puzzle. Notable: the helicopter whimsy as a symbol of America (military might?). 3/5

helicopter, top R; Statue of Liberty, center

47th St.

 Stave, 395 pieces. We use a photo of Times Square on the cover of our advertising law casebook, and so I liked this image. 

well done!

Aaron Wolf, Celestial City

 Artifact, 554 pieces. Wolf's images are detailed and generally muted in color; I liked the whimsies in this one. 3/5

extra adornment, bottom left--3D printed, I think

I Am Groot

 Enigma, 95 pieces. Came from Hoefnagel with a lovely note about the blog--thank you, Gentle Reader! You made my day! This is really tightly cut--tighter than the other Enigmas I've done, but just as tight as the other Enigma in the box--I wonder if this is from a different cutting period, or if the wood expanded a bit. Easy to flip! Also a cute multipiece whimsy that forms headphones over Groot's head. 3/5

District of Attorneys

 Stave, 410 pieces. Love the theme, of course! Lots of little details in this one. The whimsies are often about the situations that lawyers can be brought in to deal with; I get that lawyer whimsies are somewhat hard to generate beyond a few easy ones. 7/10

multipiece scales of justice

accident in progress

firefighters

actual daily work

can+duck+ink bees+nest = conducting business

Angela Gomes, Canaa Valley

 Artifact/Ecru, 148 pieces. Small puzzle/pieces; I always like the hexagonal tiled designs. 3/5

Roch Urbaniak, Ulthar

 Artifact/Ecru, 136 pieces. Curvy cut adds interest to this small puzzle. 3/5
