I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Whimsy Wood Puzzles, 500 pieces. I haven't always been super fond of this maker, despite some interesting cuts and images, but this one really shows craft and ingenuity. The border full of dropouts works almost like a Teaser puzzle, since things that look like connectors often fit in only half the space you imagine they'd take up, making fitting the border together a challenge--one I liked a lot. 4/5
Liberty, 651 pieces. I think this might be their largest Coccia, and it delivers--including a tiny dropout that makes assembling the legs more complicated. There's also a bonus 3D puzzle that isn't part of the cut otherwise. 4/5

Mr. Gogo, 345 pieces. As usual, beautifully cut, with the addition of dropouts that add a bit of complexity. A pleasure for the hands and eyes. 4/5
Liberty, 670 pieces. A nice Liberty with a lot of blue; some minor color variation but mostly it's done by shape or putting boats together and then placing them among the blue. I like that kind of thing but maybe avoid if you don't. 3/5

| music |

Sr. B Puzzles Workshop, 437 pieces. A nice image with unusual dimensions and a stylistically similar mini-puzzle. The only whimsy is the signature piece. 4/5
Stave, 120 pieces. A very nice Teaser with good colors and fun teaser pieces with lots of curves. 7/10
