3483 piece wood puzzle, "Still Life with Parakeet" by Jan van Kessel, Michèle Wilson, France.
After about a year's break, I have decided to return to this extremely difficult project, and I'm determined to have it finished no later than June 8th. The puzzle has been stashed on the floor underneath my puzzle table for the whole year, being too large and fragile to move.
It seemed as though there were nothing but black pieces remaining but I've been able to pick out some that have a hint of leaf or stem, and to attach all but one stray flower to the main puzzle. I've also noticed that shape-wise, there are some pieces that have a less jagged edge to them - probably one of the earlier cuts, when the cutter was separating the puzzle into manageable parts - and so I've brought those pieces into the fold.
It's going to be a long, slow journey.
This is at the 60-hour mark. For reference, I've attached previous updates below.
