I'm Steve Richardson, aka The Chief Tormentor. Since 1974, my cohorts and I have been the masterminds behind the most beautiful, most inventive, and without
question, most challenging jigsaw puzzles to be found in the world today—the famous Stave puzzles.
Our devotion to puzzle making has transformed the idea of the jigsaw puzzle from a very simple diversion into a highly expressive, entertaining, and
exasperating art form. In homes everywhere, Stave puzzles are collected and
treasured as unique and precious heirlooms. And along the way, we have developed many close relationships with the people who share our obsession. People who have
experienced the struggle and satisfaction of completing puzzles so beautiful and challenging that they can't wait to begin their next one! The of Stave puzzles inspire letters, calls,
gifts, bribes, and pranks way beyond what you would expect from a normal business.
These are not your ordinary puzzles! They are much more than just a scene cut into pieces. Our puzzles have figure pieces, called silhouettes, and clever crafting ploys to deceive you.
The Stave experience is about more than just getting a stunning, personalized jigsaw puzzle from our hands to yours. We want to connect with you—the puzzle crafters to the puzzle enthusiasts.
