I do wooden jigsaw puzzles and take pictures of them.
Victory, 545 pieces. Another Mark Capitella cut, with his distinctive curves, which allow for ready color line cutting given the image. Because of the concentrated areas of color, this was mostly easier than the previous 2, but still quite pleasant to do. 3/5
Liberty, 427 pieces. Classic Liberty--looks dark unassembled, but there's actually plenty going on in the image that is distinctive. 3/5
Stave, 455 pieces. Books and cats, the perennial puzzle subjects! This one is plenty of fun, with cute edges. Uses Stave's less common "arrow" cutting style, which I think they call fantasy. 7/10

Elms, 326 pieces. Fun image with a lot going on that made assembly a matter of finding fine details. 6/10

| flowers in the corners |
Fathom, 200 pieces. Fathom has mastered what FoxSmartBox is trying--making surprising cuts, including color line and Teaser-like cuts, with a laser. Handcutting still can't be beat, but I can't wait to see what will happen next.
4/5
Stave, 160 pieces. Hard to show much of this without spoilers; but it was a delightful level of difficulty for me--hard but not impossible, with underlying patterns that eventually became clear. 9/10
