A message from Jim Ayer, the Puzzle Master.

Most people don't even know what a real jigsaw puzzle is. All they've ever seen are mass-produced cardboard puzzles you can buy in any store. In the heyday of puzzle mania in this country - which peaked in 1933 - all jigsaw puzzles were made of wood, made to last.

All my wooden jigsaw puzzles are made to last for generations. I use only African okuome wood for its density and durability. The images are sealed permanently to the wood, so you don't get peeling like you do with cardboard jigsaw puzzles. I even built my own computer-driven, water-jet cutting machine to cut the most precise, detailed jigsaw pieces possible.

When you order a custom puzzle, I work with you to create something truly special. One of the ways I make the designs unique and fun is to cut whimsical shapes for some of the puzzle pieces. For instance, a jigsaw puzzle for a dog-lover could include the shapes of golden retrievers.

My custom jigsaw puzzles are more than just the usual photo puzzles. They're used to propose marriage, celebrate family traditions, and create cherished family heirlooms. My artistic puzzles allow you to enjoy unique fine art that you cannot find anywhere else. If you love jigsaw puzzles the way I do, you're going to like what you see here.
