ABOUT OUR PERSONALIZED JIGSAW PUZZLES:
Our personalized wooden jigsaw puzzles are one of our most popular products. The puzzles are made from customer provided images, with attention to your specifications and ideas. In addition to common choices noted below, we love to include your specific customizations of interest. The edge pieces of every puzzle are 100% interlocking and most interior pieces are also interlocking. Because we do not use patterns or templates when cutting our puzzles, no two puzzles are alike. Each piece is uniquely shaped by our puzzle maker. For heirloom scenarios, we use fine hardwood to make decorative wooden boxes to hold the pieces, we make frames that can be used when assembling the puzzle, and we can make an easel allowing for display of the framed result.
We have done many puzzles over the years with seemingly endless variation. Your customized puzzle begins when you complete the interest form on the previous page!
