Are those some that you made???8-O Very cool!!! Do you just affix the picture to some thin Baltic Birch ply and cut out the pieces?? Details please :-D My daughter has these baby puzzles that my wife is always telling me I could make, they are exactly the same in theory, but much more simple.

My dad puts em together like a fiend. The more pieces the better. We got him a 8,000 piece for Christmas a few years ago. He cursed us.. The next day, he was putting it together, griping about it the whole time. But.. I've never actually "made" one. I couldn't imagine.

wow, that looks great. I would love to know how you make those.

Very cool! I would also be interested in knowing how you affix the picture.

They're pretty easy to do. Just takes patience. I don't do them all at once. Just go down and cut a few pieces whenever the mood hits me.

I just use 1/4 in. Baltic Birch and stick the picture on with 3M spray adhesive. For some pictures I'll use a pattern, but mostly just cut them freehand.

There is lots of info and ideas on the web. Just Google "Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle" and browse away:lol:
