STARRY NIGHT - VINCENT VAN GOGH500 PIECE WOODEN JIGSAW PUZZLE You are bidding on a 500 pieces wooden jigsaw puzzle cut in June 2006. The image is of Vincent Van Gogh's famous Starry Night! This is a beautifully cut 14" x 11" Finland birch plywood puzzle cut in a somewhat traditional style on a grid pattern. The pieces are cut in the somewhat traditional "nib and socket" variations we are accustom to with the cardboard puzzles, but with some double-nibs thrown in for an added level of difficulty. This also shows the skill of the cutter as these pieces measure approximately 1/2" square. Due to the small pieces and the snug fit of the pieces, this puzzle can actually be picked up by one corner without any of the pieces falling out of the puzzle. I don't recommend making a practice of this for reasons of not damaging the puzzle, but it can be moved or framed easily if needed. (see photo). Please keep in mind that this is not a cheaper wooden puzzle along the lines of of the old Stauss or Victory brand, nor is it a laser-cut puzzle that can be produced time and again such as Liberty or Wentworth. This is a one-of-a-kind hand-cut puzzle! I recently heard from the cutter of this puzzle! You may now know his puzzles as Turtle Teasers!!! This is one of his early puzzles! What an opportunity to own an early puzzle by this craftsman! Thanks read more
