Why is a wood puzzle from Heirloom Puzzle so much better than cardboard die-cut puzzles?

  • All or our puzzles are crafted from premium quality 6 mm (~1/4") voidless, five ply Baltic Birch plywood that is imported from Finland, resulting in puzzle pieces that have excellent feel, heft, durability, and a please appearance.
  • Each puzzle is unique.  The puzzle size, piece size, piece count, and shape are tailored to your preferences.
  • Your puzzle will feature your selected photo of loved ones, memories, significant event, or treasured  art print.
  • Baltic Birch Puzzle Pieces

    Whether you buy our simplest puzzle or our largest and most intricate, your puzzle will be crafted, from the same premium quality  6mm (~1/4") five ply Baltic Birch plywood, imported from Finland.  Those who have assembled our puzzles have told us that they love the "look and feel" of the puzzle pieces from Heirloom Puzzle.

  • You choose the scene

    We can make a puzzle from almost any photograph or artwork of yours.  Pictures of your loved ones, pets, your home, vacation memories, and family reunions are all popular custom puzzle subjects.  Or, perhaps use your child's favorite art rendering.We will turn it into a beautiful, durable wood puzzle.

  • You choose the size

    Heirloom Puzzle can cut wooden puzzles in sizes from 3"x5" and up.  Our prices for rectangular puzzles from 5"x7" through 12"x16 are shown on our price list.

  • You choose the piece size

    Puzzle size and piece size are two separate things.  Any puzzle size can be cut with smaller pieces, which creates a more intricate puzzle, that is challenging to assemble.  Or, the same puzzle size can be cut with fewer, larger pieces, which will be easier to put together.  We offer five sizes of puzzle pieces

  • You choose the shape

    We can cut puzzles to almost any shape.  Of course, the simpler shapes, such as our rectangles and hearts, will be the  most affordable.  The prices for these puzzles are shown on our Heirloom Puzzle price list

     Call or email us for a quotation on any other shape in which you might be interested.

  • You choose the approximate piece count

    You can also choose the approximate piece count for your wooden jigsaw-type puzzle from Heirloom Puzzle.  Of course, because each puzzle is unique and handmade, the piece count is only approximate.  A 250 piece puzzle might have 245 pieces or 255 pieces,  or something like, for example.

    As you have probably figured out, there is a relationship between piece count, puzzle size and piece size.  Any two of these factors will determine the third.

  • Ornate Edges Available

    Our most inexpensive puzzles naturally come with straight or smooth borders, as in our heart, circular, and rectangular puzzle prices seen on the price list on our "Order" page.  However, for an additional charge we can cut ornate edges like those seen here.  Contact us to learn more or obain a quote.  These ornate edges are especially appropriate for those who like challenging puzzles because the lack of straight edges makes it more difficult to put the puzzle together.

    (By the way, the detail on the left below comes from a family picture puzzle done for a grandmother for her 70th birthday).  To see more occasions when a puzzle from Heirloom Puzzle might be an appropriate gift, click here).  The detail on the right, showing scalloped edges comes from a holiday puzzle.

"Okay, so I am related to Bob and not unbiased. 

Still, I was amazed by the quality look and feel of the puzzles that he made for my family.  These puzzles are beautiful creations that really are heirloom quality treasures.  Quite well-known in the radio-controlled (RC) model airplane hobby, Bob has now brought his renown craftsmanship in wood to puzzlemaking."
