121 pieces.  Used the Flying Dutchman superior puzzle blades and a 5-ply birch board I picked up at Michael’s.  Much tighter cuts!  I also used a lighted magnifying glass and a foot pedal which made this much easier.  I broke five blades in the course of making the puzzle.  The photo is from a free calendar on low grade paper.  Dry mounting even better this time.  Sprayed with flat Krylon and am sending it to my Dad as a gift.  

May 31, 2014: p.s.  I learned about tension and wear on the blades through this and subsequent puzzles and have broken very few since!
