I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Eaglewood, 188 pieces. Good colors on this Amazon seller's puzzle, which I always appreciate, especially for a peacock image. This one's distinguishing factor is that it comes with a wooden pin with the same image in miniature. "Designed in the US," for what that's worth. 3/5
Jigsawow, 160 pieces. Good for its type; I like that the whimsies differ across puzzles, except for the JW whimsies. 3/5
Ninostar, 188 pieces. I hoped I'd be able to get it to glow, but I wasn't. Other than that, standard for its type. 3/5
130 and 201 pieces--both bird-themed.
Egrets: limited color background was the main challenge. 3/5
Parrots: Nice irregular edges! 3/5

Wentworth, 1000 pieces. A fine Wentworth with big areas of similar color that required careful shape-matching. 3/5
 |
| really hope this was an Avengers reference |
Liberty, 706 pieces. An impressive puzzle that looks color-line-cut in terms of difficulty of assembly but actually has connectors (I expected a lot more delineation when I flipped it over!). 4/5

| Florida panhandle, interrupted by whimsies |
Nautilus, 466 pieces. Dark and without the elaborate cuts of some Nautilus puzzles. I did like the whimsy that appeared to go off the edge of the image. 3/5
 |
| a sword plunged into the side of the image |
DaVici, 520 pieces. Some elaborate building whimsies here as well as some other winter/Christmas-themed assemblies, easier to see on the back side. 3/5

Puzzle Lab, 275 pieces. I liked the irregular edges, which added a bit of difficulty along with the similar areas for the image. 3/5
DaVici, 220 pieces. Another nice DaVici cut. I think those are a lot of wizards in the whimsies? 3/5

Puzzle Lab, 175 pieces. Puzzle Lab gets some very nice images, and I like the organic cutting style, similar to but thicker than Nervous System. I could live without all the char remaining from the cuts, though. 3/5
