About our Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles
Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle Construction:
All of our unigue puzzles are handcrafted from quality materials, with each piece
cut individually. Our wooden jigsaw puzzles start with defect free 1/4" plywood
which serves as the base of the puzzle. The puzzle's art is then glued to the
plywood using a vaccuum press, ensuring a reliable and permanent bond. All of our
puzzles blanks are then treated with a finish that defends against damage from moisture,
UV light, and smudging. Once the puzzle back is sanded, an oil finish is applied
to add additional protection.
Jigsaw Puzzle Cutting Styles:
There are two basic cut styles that we offer; a traditional style cut similar to
those used in most commercially made puzzles, and a random cut style. The traditional
cutting style is used in the
Budget Saver
,
Challenger
and
Childrens Puzzle
lines. The random cut style, used in our
Wicked
jigsaw puzzles, makes maximum personalization of your jigsaw puzzle possible,
and can also make the puzzle more difficult and enjoyable to solve. More information

Children's puzzles
Our
Puzzles for Children
include two basic styles. We offer a children's size jigsaw puzzle as well as
custom inlay name puzzles which spell out the child's name. All of the products used
in our children's puzzles are made from non-toxic materials, and utilize a piece
size that reduce choaking hazards when compared to our adult product lines.
Jigsaw puzzles for children are fashioned from any custom image that you supply,
and average approximately three pieces per inch in size. These puzzles are best
for children three and up.
Inlaid puzzles, made to spell out a child's name, are perfectly suited for young
toddlers. These puzzles help with recognition and reasoning skills, as well as help
with hand-eye coordination. For more on these benefits visit our
