Stumpcraft, 200 pieces. The irregular edge gives both charm and difficulty. 3/5
I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.

Indians of North America, Jo Mora
Liberty, 726 pieces. Lots of detail and areas of darkness make the puzzle a challenge at this size. Piece shapes not standard for Liberty, visible on the back. 3/5

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

Thanksgiving Eve
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
