266 pieces. Standard strip-cut, laser-cut puzzle. Very nice image with some difficulty at the sides where the image was very similar; the cuts could have used some more variation in shape in my opinion. Shipped assembled/in two pieces, folded over. 2/5
About my ratings
Perhaps because of my day job, I'm a tough rater. Everything 3/5 and above I consider worth the time and money. If I purchase on Etsy or a similar platform and the puzzle is as expected, I will give a top rating on the platform because of how seller ratings work, but here "as expected" is probably a 3/5 in most cases.

Boater's Lunch, Renoir
588 pieces, Puzzlewood. This is my favorite part about hand-cutting: how placing two pieces together can reveal the shape of the subsequent adjoining piece, which was completely mysterious beforehand. Though this isn't my favorite subject matter, the cutting on this one is just so much fun. 10/10
Flower still life, Severin Roesen
Artifact, 330 pieces. Larger-pieced Artifact, with a lot of visual interest in the edges, which aren't straight. 3/5

Elephants Never Forget, Molly Mac
340 pieces, Puzzlewood. Delightful puzzle that looks easier than it is because of the patterns, which turn out to be only a partial guide because of the color-line cutting. 7/10

Double-sided puzzle
Puzzlewood, approx. 50 pieces. Harder than it had any right to be, even on the side that looked easier! 5/5
