3 Layer Treen Apple Puzzle Disaster
This is what happens when packaging degrades and the jigsaw falls off the edge of a crowded shelf.
BCD Mtg: This jigsaw is identical to the one brought by a member, which I didn't get a photo of. He had persuaded another member to try to reassemble a treen puzzle of his which had suffered a similar fate. If she suceeds I will ask her if she could face tackling mine too!
This treen 3-layer jigsaw puzzle fell off my shelf and emptied itself out. I've never done more than the top layer, and the layers are not parallel, so it has to be assembled from the bottom layer up. The top and bottom surfaces have a slightly deeper colour and the outer edge looks slightly polished but otherwise there are no colour clues, only grain marks.
I plan to take this along to the BCD (British jigsaw society) meeting in the hope that someone there will take pity on me and help reassemble it.
Bought from a craft fair in the early 1990s, the largest of my 3 or 4 layer wooden jigsaw puzzles. The puzzle is made by Poster & Media Arts of 3 St James Terrace, Riding Mill, and is described on the box as 'freehand crafted' from northern hemisphere hardwoods.
