The image has been mounted with archival adhesive onto the plywood base. The puzzle is 10.5" in diameter, with 295 small pieces, and due to the 4-way near-symmetry will be rather tricky for its size. The puzzle has been cut with a scroll saw using extremely fine blades just .007" thick. These blades are the thinnest that can in practice be used to cut the dense ¼" plywood. Even so, the blades break frequently while cutting. The combination of thin blade, thick plywood and fully-interlocking pieces results in a puzzle that is very tightly cut, so that when assembled it can with care be lifted and turned over without any pieces falling out. The puzzle is supplied unassembled in a sturdy plywood box that will keep it safely for many years to come. I make the boxes with the same care and precision with which I cut my puzzles. No picture is supplied, so that jigsaw enthusiasts can work through the solution the hard way! If you suspect that you will need the help of a picture, you should print this page before it disappears from eBay. WARNING! This puzzle is not recommended for young children, as the small pieces could present a choking hazard. Place a Bid!
