Buy Adult (12+ yrs) Handcut Wood Jigsaw Puzzle - WPA Poster - Visit the Zoo Elephant

Do you or does someone you know love jigsaw puzzles? (Have you ever met someone who doesn't?) The idea of making my own puzzles is what got me started on Etsy and I am pleased to start offering them to you, hand cut by me on my Dewalt 788 scroll saw!

Each buy puzzle is individually cut from 1/8" Baltic Birch Plywood and a professional giclee print.The quality and longevity of each puzzle is extremely important to me as I hope that you will enjoy my puzzles for years to come. All regular sized adult puzzles come in a keepsake finished wood box. All children's and mini puzzles come in a labeled muslin bag.

Made to order puzzles take time to finish, largely due to wait time for the prints. Please keep this in mind. Most of the time these puzzles will ship faster than indicated. If you are looking to receive a puzzle faster, please check out my Ready to Ship Puzzles, or send me a message to see if I have the desired print ready and available.

4/21/2020: Major pricing update! And most puzzle prices have dropped significantly (YEAY!) but the quality has not! Same puzzles, MUCH better pricing :-)

I've also updated the difficulty levels to make them much easier to understand and order. They are now based on age groups, and reflect industry standards (if you have questions feel free to shoot me a message!). When ordering, please also consider the physical and mental ability of the recipient. All puzzles are available for all difficulty levels.

Difficulty levels are now grouped as follows (please see the pull down menus for piece counts and pricing):
Adult Puzzles (12+, 14+, and Standard)
Kid/ Elementary Puzzles (5yrs, 6-8 yrs, 9-11 yrs)
Preschool (2yrs, 3yrs, 4yrs)

If you have trouble finding what you are looking for, don't hesitate to shoot me a message!

And don't forget to check out the New Mini Puzzles! Same images! Same difficulty! Smaller puzzles! (And Smaller prices!)

Whimsies: Whimsies are specially shaped pieces that are a big part of the wood jigsaw puzzle tradition. These are available through custom order for any puzzle with 60 or more pieces (but will likely affect the number of pieces for that puzzle). Whimsies are priced at $5 each. In general the actual shapes will be a surprise but will likely follow the theme of the puzzle. Of course, if you have a specific request just let me know! Send me a message to order whimsies.

This Puzzle:
WPA posters are well known for the amazing graphic artistry that went into them. Funded by the US Government as part of the New Deal, they were created as part of a massive program to get our economy moving again after the Great Depression. Many of these posters have become iconic representations of our past as they celebrated travel destinations, social movements, community art exhibits, trades, etc. (Img source: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Online Catalog)

As always, I strive for consistent quality but please remember that these are handmade so variation is to be expected.

If you do not see the options you desire listed, please feel free to contact me. Custom orders are always welcome for consideration!
