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.

Cutting Edge Designs

It was always interesting when Steve – Stave’s founder and Chief Tormentor – went on vacation. He would be enjoying a balmy, beachside breeze or lining up a three-foot putt on the seventh green when his thoughts naturally drifted to new ways to drive his customers batty. Time away from the office would result in trademark torments like the Whammy Edge, the Empty Interlock, and the Phony Corner (not to mention Trick puzzle designs, Crazy Claws, and Monkey Fists). Steve was never one to rest on his laurels – neither is his successor, Jennifer. Always eager to devise new ways to up the Stave game, Jennifer – Stave’s Co-Owner and Master Crafter - has closely collaborated with our expert graphics team to bring you to the next level of puzzling adventure.

 

Stave Introduces Cutting Edge!

Using images hand-picked specifically for this unique new style of puzzles, Jennifer and her team of Stave artisans have conspired to fill each
Cutting Edge design with puzzling elements far beyond what you experience in our Traditional style puzzles.

Here is just a sampling of what you may discover in a Cutting Edge puzzle:

• Super Erratic Irregular Edge - You may not be able to tell where it starts—or where it will end.
• Devious Double-Decker or Tricky Triple-Decker - These pieces really stack up and take puzzling to an entirely new level!
• Radical Repeating Silhouettes - (like a lot!) You may think you’re seeing double, or triple...
• Winsome Windows and Sneaky Sculpts - These are like the sand traps of the jigsaw puzzle world.
• Wicked Whammy Edges - Like, really? Do any of these edge pieces actually connect?!
• Silhouette Sting - Ooops! We’ve said too much. You need to put the puzzle together to discover this one.

Get the picture? Combining a stunning image with challenge, artistry, and over-the-top crafting enhancements of a Stave crafter promises that your next puzzling adventure will be exhilarating. It’s even possible to find graphically created elements that do not exist in the original artwork! Expecting the unexpected is just the tip of the puzzle iceberg with Cutting Edge designs. Prepare to be awe-stricken and befuddled until the last piece clicks into place.
