Turning Taxis, 33 pieces. This was a test puzzle graciously lent to me by the cutter. My opinion on acrylic: it's inherently less pleasant to me than wood, although interesting effects can clearly be achieved. My main concern is visibility (I am old). When there's enough contrast, the acrylic can be challenging in a good way with only shape as the guide for assembly. The total puzzle was about 3x2 1/2 in inches; I prefer somewhat larger pieces (these were somewhat bigger than a fingertip but not a ton bigger), again for visibility reasons. I liked the unpredictability of the jagged edge and not quite rectangular overall shape.
