I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Chestnut & Hemlock, 209 pieces. What a fun puzzle! Large pieces so they could be individually hand painted. Has to be assembled by shape. 8/10

Artifact, 1001 pieces. Big, moderated by distinct areas (though that last center part was a doozy). Notable for the first representation of a wheelchair user in a whimsy that I've seen! 4/5

Stave, 1040 pieces. The biggest single Stave I've done, I think. I usually think 500 is a great size for puzzles and larger can get unmanageable, but this one made me wonder about what a hand-cut Impressionist puzzle would be like, because the level of image detail on each individual piece is going to be different. Anyway, excellent puzzle. 9/10

Stave, 520 pieces. Lots of variation and irregular edges meant that the shape of this wasn't clear until late in the assembly process. 6/10
