I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Liberty, 499 pieces. Having the title and author as whimsies is very cute, though I think it would also have been very cute to have a bunch more Seussian whimsies. The big field of green means that you're relying on shape a lot to assemble; fortunately you can do that with wooden puzzles and enjoy it (if that's the kind of thing that you enjoy, which I do). Would likely make a nice variation on the standard graduation gift. 4/5

Elms, 323 pieces. What it says on the tin! Steady assembly. Even the top has color variations that emerge once the rest of the puzzle is in place. 6/10
Artifact, 546 pieces. More muted colors in this one provide the challenge. The glossy finish made it hard to get a great picture of the swirling cut, but I gave it a try. 3/5
Artifact, 285 pieces. The challenge comes from the not-quite-uniform piece shape; fun. Another dinosaur puzzle with a rude comet whimsy. 3/5
Misfit Creations, 74 pieces. Another delightful little Teaser-style design. 4/5
Boardwalk, 325 pieces. Really enjoying their switch to thicker wood. 3/5
BCB Puzzles, 400 pieces. Fun and colorful, with an unusual-for-BCB couple of false edges internally. 4/5
