Painted Puzzle

Last summer, I found a roughly 8″ x 8″ piece of scrap cherry plywood in the shop that was begging for some attention. I decided to do something a little different for me.

First, I cut the puzzle using my usual piece shapes. However, I did put a number of little frog pieces along the edges. Some were at the corners and some were split. Here is the cut puzzle.

The second thing a little different was to paint the pieces using some acrylic paint I found at Hobby Lobby. I split the pieces into six different piles corresponding to each color of paint.

I then took them outside on a piece of cardboard to paint.

Here they are back in the shop

Now, to assemble them to take pictures.

The completed puzzle!

The backside was finished with an oil finish.

Here is a collection of the frog pieces.

This was listed and sold on Etsy.

Happy Puzzling!
