Item specifics
Condition: NewProduct Type: Hand Cut
Pieces: 938Number of figurals: 20
Size of puzzle: 20" wide by 15.7" highDifficulty level: Intense

Up for bid is a new, one-of-a-kind, PuZzLeMoNk puzzle. All of my puzzles are completely hand-cut, one piece at a time, in my own unique abstract cutting style.

Puzzle number: No. 515

Name of puzzle: "Luncheon of the Boating Party"
 
Print name and artist: "The Luncheon of the Boating Party" (1881) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Number of pieces: 938

Number of figurals: 20 (The butterfly is a complex figural consisting of three pieces. Includes my signed signature piece.)

Size of puzzle: 20 inches wide x 15.75 inches high

The puzzle comes disassembled inside a lidded wooden box with a secure metal clasp as shown in the photo. The PuZzleMonK logo is hand wood burned on the outside of the box, along with the puzzle name.   The puzzle number, year of creation, and number of pieces are wood burned inside of the box lid.

Included in this puzzle:
Color-line cutting (Cutting along the edge of a color in the print)
Fake edge pieces (Many pieces that look like edge pieces but are really interior pieces)
Tricky edge pieces (About half of the edge pieces look like interior pieces)

This is a carefully crafted beautiful wood puzzle that is made to last for generations. The uniquely shaped, close fitting pieces are a pleasure to assemble time and time again. Each puzzle is signed on the back of a puzzle piece by the Puzzlemonk.

I create my puzzles to be challenging and intriguing by including many deceptive edge pieces, false edge pieces and color-line cutting. My abstract cutting style uses many knobs, arrows, bones, and appendages in close fitting earlets, as I endeavor to make each piece into a little wooden sculpture. (See photo.) While many puzzle cutters will split all the corners to make the puzzle trickier, I also like to split as many of the knobs, arrows, bones and earlets as possible while maintaining the artistic sculptured look of each piece.

Some customer feedback:

“Wow! Just completed the puzzle and boy was it hard! Hardest puzzle I ever did. Great puzzle, great cutting, frustrating as could be, and I loved it! Will definitely buy more!”


“The puzzle took hours to put together, and we are super-fast puzzle solvers. We really struggled with all the interior edges and split-interlocks, as well as the confounding pattern. Thanks for making such a detailed, fun puzzle. We were also impressed at how you managed to get the printed pattern to line up with the figural piece like that. Amazing.”

 

“We (my Mom, husband, daughter and me) spent the better part of five evenings working on the puzzle as a family, and completed it! You are a masterful crafts-person! It was so hard! The edges that weren't -- the inside pieces that were NOT edges! Thanks again!

The puzzle has been hand-cut from beautiful amber ¼ inch bamboo plywood, using ultra fine Swiss blades with a thickness of only 0.007 inches. These Swiss made blades make for a very enjoyable tighter fitting puzzle that shows almost no cut lines, while the smoothness of the bamboo still allows the puzzle pieces to slide in and out effortlessly. The puzzle is not suitable for very young children as it could present a choking hazard.
