“The Rolls Royce of Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles” -Smithsonian Magazine, 1990
Important Holiday Message:
The BIG day is getting closer, and our crafting schedule is filling up quickly! Every puzzle we craft is handcrafted - piece by piece. Because of this, it's impossible to know exactly how many puzzles we can cut in time for holiday delivery. Our experience allows us to make a really good, educated guess, but it's all up to our amazing team of puzzle cutters (and just how much coffee and M&M's they can consume to keep them going!). We are committed to family fun and want your holiday season to be spectacular and magical. We'll do our best to get each and every order cut and delivered by Christmas. If we find we just can't make it happen, we'll contact you as soon as possible and send you a promise certificate to put under the tree and give you a discount of 40% off* for accepting delivery in January.
If you need something for immediate delivery, please visit the InStock, Time Share, Rental, or Boutique areas of our website.
*40% off applies to puzzles with a full price over $400. Excludes Limited Editions, Cutting Edge, Double-Sided, Rental programs, puzzle sets, gift certificates, wooden puzzle boxes, or other puzzle accessories. Cannot be combined with other offers or be used on previously placed orders. All other exclusions apply.

“Raised in a family that loved the outdoors, I have always sought wild places, feeling that nature is central to my way of life. No piece of my art has ever seemed complete to me without an element that could fly or dart from the page. I specialize in watercolor because I enjoy contrasting soft-edged, luminous background areas with delicately detailed birds and animals. My paintings don’t attempt to duplicate what I see in nature, but rather to capture a fragment of the wildness and beauty we could so easily destroy.” —Susan Bourdet
Using images hand-picked specifically for this unique style of puzzle, we fill each Cutting Edge design with elements far beyond what you experience in our Traditional style puzzles. Here is just a sampling of what you may discover in this Cutting Edge puzzle:
• POP-UP PUZZLEMENT: Rising above the tabletop.
• WINSOME WINDOWS: These are like the sand traps of the jigsaw puzzle world.
• RADICAL REPEATING SILHOUETTES: (like a lot!) You may think you’re seeing double, or triple...
• DEVIOUS DOUBLE-DECKER: These pieces really stack up and take puzzling to an entirely new level!
Get the picture? Combining a stunning, beautiful image with challenge, artistry, and the over-the- top crafting enhancements of a Stave crafter promises that your next puzzling adventure will be exhilarating.
Due to the highly irregular nature of this puzzle, Cutting Edge designs do not offer room for personalization. Edge design, cutting style, and size of pieces are determined by the Stave Crafter.
