I had talked to Dick and Sue about my puzzle cutting hobby while Steve and I were staying at their house last summer. I told them I’d cut a puzzle for them. Though I started this one many months ago, I finally got it completed. It is 196 pieces and is 10 x 12 ¼ in size. I cut lots of grapes and leaves into the puzzle. With the grapes I did additional cutting so that they have more definition. This is the last puzzle I plan to cut from Baltic birch for quite a long time. The birch is tough on my blades and on my hands. The Okume I bought is 1 mm thinner and is a much lighter wood (weight).


Loved seeing this in your beautiful puzzle favorites. We loved having you as house guests and made great new friends.
