Have you ever done wooden jigsaw puzzles? Tell me about your favorites!

If someone described your channel, I would say, "that is not for me", but hell, I am addicted hahahaha your channel is the clear example of it doesn't matter what is the topic, the important thing is that the content creator enjoys what he or she does. Passion is everything and one can see that in your videos.

I can see Wentworth CEO and Michele Wilson both leaning into the screen in the conference room taking notes and planning their next moves.

The first puzzle- Although it does make it harder that all pieces are cut along the edges of shapes of the image I find it more easthetically pleasing.

I didn't see if anyone mentioned Artifact wooden puzzles? They have crazy shaped pieces, along with the special ones: birds, cats, things that go with the theme of the image. I have a puzzle from them that has no border exactly. It's an image of super cute owls, and the whole top of the puzzle is shaped like FLOWERs!

I would love to see you design your own puzzle.

I have a double sided wooden puzzle I found on eBay with the Lord of the rings map on one side and a scene from the Hobbit on the other, it's a lot of fun to put together

Please do a Liberty puzzle! Their pieces are so incredibly special :)

Really enjoyed this video, thanks. My son lives in Paris and he has purchased several of Michele Wilson's puzzles for me. I have even been fortunate enough to visit one of the stores and watch them cut the puzzles! They are very different from doing interlocking puzzles, but very rewarding when finished. I have framed my first 1000 piece, Monet's The Bridge at Argenteuil. The one thing I wanted to point out is that if you do lose a piece, they will recut it for you, for a fee. They are very responsive to email.

The Michelle Williams puzzle is beautiful. It occurred to me watching this video that the reason puzzles have traditional cuts nowadays is because they interlock much better that way and the way that the MW puzzle is cut makes that impossible. Still, I think that brand, from what I can tell here, is very interesting. I like the piece cut challenge of not knowing the surrounding areas. I've heard quite a lot about Liberty Puzzles and if you ever get the chance to put one of those together, I think it would be a popular video. Flower.

I can attest to how much the Puzzle Michele Wilson puzzles move. I was house sitting for my neighbor and they’d left a Puzzle Michele Wilson puzzle half-completed. I was staring at it in awe bc I’d never seen puzzle pieces that looked like that. I reached out to touch one (bc the texture looked interesting to me) and, just from barely touching one piece, I undid like half of their progress and was scrambling to put it back the way they had it 😂 I’ve always wanted a Puzzle Michele Wilson puzzle though. The shapes are so intriguing! I’ve done a couple Wentworth puzzles (recommended to me by those same neighbors) and they’re really fun and satisfying to do. I definitely recommend.

Omg THANK YOU for doing a take without the special pieces

I definitely want a review of the unidragon wood puzzles!!

I bought a Wentworth puzzle (Possessing A Most Irrational Sense of Optimism) in December 2020. I finally started to put it together today, February 24, 2021. I loved sorting out the pieces, the graphics are very pretty, and I love the whimsy.. it's is very satisfying visually and functionally.. This puzzle makes me happy❤️❤️❤️!

I’ve never done a wooden puzzle but have drooled over their catalogs. It seems that the images on wooden puzzles are higher quality, maybe more vibrant. Loved the specialty shapes, especially that flower piece. And oh, the aroma of the wentworth must have been so cozy and christmas-y! Please do more of these so we can give wooden puzzles as gifts, with confidence..

I own a few Wentworth puzzles, I absolutely love them. It's worth looking out for them on EBay too, there's usually a few on there and it's a cheaper option. Mine have so far come from car boot sales, and they are often really cheap there because the seller doesn't realise how expensive they are to buy new :)

I really enjoy doing wooden puzzles. I have done quite a few Wentworth's, and my favorite ones are the ones that are not square in shape. I have done one that is in the shape of a dragon and one in the shape of a fish, both of which are really cool. My other favorite wooden puzzle company is Unidragon. Their puzzles tend to be smaller and perhaps even pricier than Wentworth's, but every one is shaped like an animal and filled to the brim with whimsies, with flower whimsies, mushroom whimsies, leaf whimsies, and animal whimsies. There is also a whimsey in the shape of their logo in every puzzle, which is a cool touch. Their boxes are particularly neat, as they are laser cut in the same way as the pieces.

My favorite wooden puzzle company is Liberty Puzzles. They have a super long waiting list to buy one, and they are expensive, but they are worth every penny! I love them. It's my second time on their waiting list.

the michele Wilson one seems like it should come with a correctly sized board to fit the pieces into, the way the brain teaser puzzles do.

Now I kinda want a wooden puzzle with the majority of pieces being flower-shaped. And lotsa flowers on the picture, of course. BTW, wanted to say a very big thank you to Karen. I actually never picked up puzzles since childhood and then KZfaq gets me this channel recommended. Now I'm back in the game and already started my new collection. The biggest pain is when your cats lose a piece for you forever.

Thanks for reviewing these wooden puzzles. I love Wentworth puzzles and they sort of got me addicted to wooden puzzles in general. I have not tried Puzzle Michele Wilson yet, but your review was helpful in deciding whether to try one. I really love the whimsy pieces in the Wentworth puzzles - the flower is a fun one. I like it when you find bikes or animals too. I also highly recommend Nautilus Puzzles and Artifact Puzzles. They both are California companies and do a good job alerting you when a puzzle is back in stock. And because they are in California, they ship pretty fast.

I love that they have so many special cut pieces including your favorite flower. Love the two puzzles!

I've only done one Wentworth puzzle, but it was really the most satisfying puzzle I've ever done. We have it in a frame where you can see the specialty pieces in the back. Some really neat ideas in it

I also experience a Zen calm when doing puzzles.

Two quality-content puzzles in one quality-content video. You somehow keep getting better with the way you explain, present and review the puzzles. As a kid I always wanted to make my own jigsaw puzzle and I still haven't til this day (21 currently) but my 10 years older sister had a school project in... I think middle school or so?- where she had a plate of wood that she drew a picture on and then cut out puzzle pieces from it. She wanted to throw it away at some point because shes not that much into jigsaw puzzles, so I asked if I can not just have it instead. The pieces are quite large, a bit thin, I would say one is close to as big to cover the palm of my hand, the image is simple, dark blue sky, some green grass area with an animal (I think a bunny?) and *flowers.* The closest I've gotten to making my own jigsaw puzzles was that I would take cardboard biscuit packagings and cut the front cover with a scissor if it had some variety and a nice picture to it. But usually I was very lucky to often get new 1000 piece puzzles in my childhood as everyone thought "wow he puts the pieces together so fast, and it probably is good for his hand-eye-coordination, we'll just keep gifting new ones to him". Which brings me to one more thing I would like to mention. You always destroy the puzzles after putting them together. This sometimes hurts me to look at. :D When I finish a puzzle I will check how many pieces horizontally and vertically fit into the box and then disassamble the puzzle in big rectangles and layer the large chunks on top of each other inside the box. I can't destroy a puzzle just like that. Thats only ok with puzzles where I don't have the box for anymore. Then I'll disassamble then into a small plastic bag and seal it with a rubber band. Ok small offtopic but yeah - once again, really cool video, thanks for all of your efforts and helping the puzzle community grow *!* (had to edit this 2-3x due to mistakes, oof)

I love wooden puzzles, my three favorites have been mentioned Liberty, Nautilus and Artifact. But I have also done a Peaceful Wooden Puzzle and the most expensive wooden puzzles I have seen (can't afford one) are Stave Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles made in Vermont. Love all flowers!

The wentworth puzzles look really cool, I’d love to try one. But I wouldn’t feel good about spending that much on a puzzle so I’ll probably just live vicariously through your videos. 🌸

I just got a 500 piece Wentworth for my birthday and it’s so pretty!! I’m so excited to make it today. ☺️ This video inspired me to ask for it as a birthday gift. I just had to rewatch this video because of it. Haha!

I recently tried a wooden puzzle brand “Huadada” and the pieces hold together so well that you can pick the entire puzzle up and move it to any area and it stays nice and solid. Love your channel. 🌺 flower

Hi Karen, great review as always. After watching this I decided to order a Wentworth wooden puzzle and I was extremely pleased with the product. I got the “Japanese Maple” 500pcs. It was fun to make and it looks fantastic once it is finished. It did take me more than your 90 minutes (almost 8 hours) but the image is quite difficult. I am sure you would love the challenge of putting it together! And, one of the specially shaped pieces is a FLOWER!

I’m intrigued by the Liberty Puzzle Company (I’ve had my eye on “Portofino, Italy”). I think the finished puzzle could be beautifully framed as a legit piece of art. Tried to figure out how to fit “flower” in my comment, but couldn’t 🤗

We do a Christmas Wentworth puzzle every year but now I’m dying for a Michele Wilson puzzle, maybe a Monet water flower one

I definitely couldn't afford to buy either of these beautiful puzzles, but like you, my favorite piece was the flower 🌺

I only do wooden puzzles -- Liberty and Nautilus, hands down. Liberty is my favorite, but Nautilus is also wonderful. I adore them to bits, but yeah they are expensive as hell. They do however lock together decently and have absolutely beautiful whimsy pieces. If you ever get one of Liberty's, I'd LOVE to see you do the dragon. If you're curious about Nautilus, they have an amazing Prague clock face that was so, so beautiful. There are absolutely NO traditional piece shapes, though -- both will eat several hours. BTW, I think you should think about starting a line of puzzles -- Hevesh5 did that with dominoes. Run a business plan and see what happens. (Flower, BTW. :-D)

That really was a lovely flower piece. The teapot was amazing too. I love your reviews!

This reminds me of Liberty puzzles in Boulder, Colorado. Beautiful puzzles yet very expensive.

I'm saying "flower" way too late, but LOVED this video, and now i want a wood puzzle to do with my hubby!

Even though I do not own or do puzzles I still enjoy your videos and happiness towards puzzles so I'm really glad I found an amazing channel I can watch to keep me happy and busy

Thanks, Karen. I never knew there was such a thing as a wooden puzzle. I really like the flower design.

Omg u were right about Gradient puzzles... They are WAY easier! It took me a day to finish the half and another day and a half to finish the other half! (Btw my gradient puzzle has like lines and it's not in a order) Edit: Normally it takes me 5-6 days to finish a 1000 puzzle

I'd love to see more 3D puzzles like the globe one you've done

I love flowers! I even have a flower puzzle (not wooden)

my favorite part was seeing my hometown featured in this! I love the vintage produce ads.

I really love Wentworth puzzles. Recently I completed a 750 pieces one (Old Flint Cottage) and it was really satisfying, much more than standard puzzles.

I enjoy learning about new to me puzzles from your channel.

I have to say i always wanted to do a wooden puzzle and this motivated me to finally order one! Thank you for the showcase and the good vibes in general.

Flower: I look forward to your videos every Sunday. They make me so happy! Im getting a few new puzzles today and I am so excited! I've really gotten into 1000+ peiced puzzles because they take longer and i think they are so much fun! I would love to try a wooden puzzle because that looked so satisfying to do.

So excited you're doing this. I've always wanted to get a wooden puzzle or two but they're so expensive, I wanted to make sure they were worth it

I have to get my hand on one of these puzzles! Both are so beautiful. Thank you for the video!

The orange color and the form of the Wentworth puzzle give me Hermès scarves vibes. 🧣

I ordered a Wentworth puzzle after watching this - this is the THIRD puzzle I've ordered from watching your videos and I only discovered your channel this week! I am such a puzzle nerd - it's nice to know I'm not alone! Thanks PK!

Excellent review, as always! You flower my Sundays every week!!

Absolutely love your channel and these puzzles are incredibly beautiful. The whimsical pieces, especially the bicycle and flower, are a delight. 🌺

Thanks for doing some puzzles that I will never be able to afford.

Wow I am actually early to someone's KZfaq video this is an accomplishment

Karen, I love your site. I have learned so much. I have ordered four smaller Wentworth and I thank you again for a supportive and resourceful site.

Just discovered your puzzle channel after you dipped out of my internet sphere for a few years and this is such a delightful turn of events.

I have to have one of these wentworth puzzles. Thanks for the video.

I love the look of those 2 puzzles and especially the Wentworth one with the special shaped pieces, like the bicycle and flower. However, I do not think I will ever purchase either one because for that price, I could purchase LOTS of cardboard puzzles. Glad you have it though- you certainly deserve to have the best!!!

Love your channel happy to be subscribed and so happy that puzzles have been showing back up again I was in the middle of filling my wall with Thomas Kinkade Disney puzzles LOL

Wow those are so cool! The flower piece is pretty!

I love my wooden puzzles. I get mine from Stumpcraft puzzles. They are definitely hard to put together, due to their shapes. I'm glad you like the wooden puzzles!!!! FLOWER

I'm becoming interested in wooden puzzles and this video answered many of my questions in starting one :)

Good review, thanks!

I have some very old wooden puzzles from the 1930's passed on to me by my parents who grew up during that time (I'm 63). The company is Victory from England. Unfortunately they are not complete, each missing a couple of pieces, but I still really enjoy putting them together

I have so many tiny Wentworth puzzles! I didn't know they came in standard sizes. The mini ones are so cute, like little jewels!

Can you do a review on educa puzzles? They’re pretty popular where I live

Hello Flower 😊🌸 I loved the teapot! Happy puzzling, Karen. You make me smile 😊 Thank you x

OMG these are so cool. I definitely want to purchase some of the Wentworth ones as holiday gifts. The personalized puzzles look pretty cool as well, would love to learn more about those!!

Flower! I love both puzzles. Will be looking into this thanx!!

Hi Karen, I had the same issue with the pieces sliding and I found a silicone craft mat helped a lot. Love your videos. Flower 🌸

Love your channel. I just subscribed!

Those fun specialty shapes of the wentworth puzzle, including the flower piece, look so detailed! Puzzle Michele Wilson has been on my wish list since earlier this year. I’m thinking of getting one of their puzzles as a Christmas present for myself!

I have done two Liberty puzzles and one Wentworth puzzle. I enjoyed both. Like you said, it's very satisfying to put a puzzle in its place.

I wish I could afford these puzzles. Both are magnificent!

I have been looking at the bits and pieces wooden puzzles. They are not as high quality as these though, they were gorgeous! The flower shape also made me smile. Great video! 💐

I loved the review. I especially liked the flower shaped piece.

YES SO EXCITED!! I've been waiting all week for this video. longest week ever lol

I loved the flower piece! :)

Flower! Well done and it looked like so much fun!

Karen you amaze me not only with your puzzling skills, which in my opinion is top notch but also with your camera work. Your videos look professionally made. Great job!!! So here's some "flowers" for you for a job well done. 💐🌷🌻🌼🌺💐🌹💐🌷🌹💐🌷👍

I never heard of these puzzles before! The price is really high but maybe I’ll treat myself. Flower 🌸

Great video!

I’ve never done a wooden puzzle. I’ll have to look for one at a garage sale. Loved the flower.

i am totally putting wentworth puzzles on my christmas list! my mum and i would have so much fun building these!

I love all those wooden pieces especially the flower ones

Flower, I did so many wooden puzzles as a child, many handed down. I was too young to appreciate the value then, and when I left home they all ended up going astray. I’ve done a few since, I love the way they feel, but they are harder to aquire here in Australia. Anyway great video as ever.

I was looking for. Bewilderness review and I found this! Cool to see other wooden puzzle companies

There's another type of wooden puzzle -- it's from Liberty, and the only one I did had a border that was so hard, that I actually did the puzzle from the picture on the inside out to the edges and that's the only way I could complete the puzzle. It had shaped pieces but I don't think it had any in the shape of a 'flower.'

I’ve never done a wooden puzzle. I think the Michele Wilson would drive me crazy not staying together. I have cats that like to “help” me do things, and they would push the pieces all over the place. Not sure I could justify spending that kind of money on a puzzle. But I love the specialty pieces of the Wentworth...a pineapple, FLOWER, bicycle, etc. I look forward to your new videos. A very unique channel. Thanks for all of your honest reviews.

Flower - l love the artwork on the Wentworth puzzle. I would probably lean more toward that one because of the interlocking pieces.

I did buy a Wentworth puzzle for the first time because of a review you did in another video. I was shocked at the price when I first went to their site, but I thought I'd buy myself a special one time treat. I was smitten with Wentworth immediately. I would suggest anyone could afford to try one out by buying a small version, they even have mini 40 piece puzzles of many of their designs so you could get a feel for how they are. I bought a 250 piece puzzle to try, and was in love, love like I felt when I did my first Lego with my child (over the years we ended up with well over 100 of them!). I ended up buying several more, and I'll be buying many more in the future, cost is worth it because the experience of putting them together is totally cool. And these puzzles keep their value, and even seem to increase in value. Just look on ebay and see for yourself. You seriously could probably buy it, do it, and sell it on ebay and get your money back, maybe even make a profit. "Cult following" appears to be correct, and once you put one together you'll have a good idea why. :D

The beautiful Michele Wilson puzzle would have been easier if places at the corner of the felt board : Thus giving you two edges to push it in to -xx

Love the wooden puzzles they were absolutely beautiful. I would love to find a single stem flower wooden puzzle to try my hand at

🌸 thank you for sharing the puzzles with the world 🗺

My first wooden puzzle was bought, used, in the 1940s, in England. I kept do it throughout my childhood. It was a picture of Windsor Castle with some guards. There weren’t many flowers in the picture. Two pieces were missing and my father cut two to fill the gaps. i kept puzzle for about 60 years, and it has now scrapped. With modern laser cutting, prices should come down. thanks for the video.

Flower 🌸. I’ve never tried a wooden puzzle and probably won’t , due to the price. I can see where there’d be a market for them, as they’re different and would make a special gift for the puzzle enthusiast in your life . Nice reviews.

I've done a few mini (50 piece) holiday themed wood puzzles from Nautilus that have fun shapes based on the theme - like a FLOWER. I have a larger one I got for Valentine's day that I need to tackle one day.

I always wanna get wooden puzzles, but I've never seen them in retail before. And I'm an online buyer. I really like the first puzzle you did, it's really unique.

I have never thought about wooden puzzles. But they look really fantastic. I looked up the Michele wilson site, because I liked that one the most. OMG that prize. I will go for the Flowers of Wentworth
