I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Puzzlocado, 970 pieces. Puzzlocado has some really intriguing puzzle designs, but shipping is so expensive! This one I got in a swap and it was very difficult but also very enjoyable. 4/5

| Just look at the piece going into the castle door: incredibly visually deceptive! |
Puzzlocado, 1050 pieces. Whew! Very few puzzles take me more than a day; this took several intense sessions over several days. Size + limited colors of the image combined for a big puzzling challenge. Construction was good and cutting style varied while mostly interlocking. Would definitely do more puzzles from this maker, though maybe I'd pause before doing another black and white. 4/5

Puzzlocado, about 450 pieces. I found this Etsy seller from Poland a while ago but took a long time to get around to it. Impressive quality--and also the solution to an old mystery. I blogged about this Earth puzzle that was super tiny, super dirty, but also had a really interesting cut. Turns out it was (shrunken) a knockoff of a Puzzlocado design. Definitely get the original--I have basically given up on buying new from eBay because of problems like this. Anyway, the print quality is nice and the themed whimsies are also good. 4/5
