130 pieces. Used the Flying Dutchman superior puzzle blades and the plywood I ordered on line. I don’t know if the wood is the Baltic birch or the Finnish birch, but I like it a lot. I’m still trying to figure out the dry press. It’s giving me more problems than anything else. I ended up gluing a portion of the picture to the wood since the press didn’t work as well as I hoped. I’ve also learned to switch blades every 15 minutes or so. Once one starts to dull, my cutting is not great. Plus, I pull on the blade too much and it sometimes breaks. I tried to cut an “s” free hand without any template. It kind of looked like a worm, which fits the puzzle! This one is original artwork that I created with pastels. I’ve numbered and signed the back of a corner piece, and it is being shipped to my sister as a gift.
