HS Puzzles 455pc Jigsaw Detail Dutch Winter Scene IMG_3358
A detail of the completed 11in diameter puzzle, of 455pc, hand cut by Howard Smeeton, from a print and 3-ply plywood. This shows the line-cutting around the two larger figures and some of the smaller ones. Note the fantastic variety in the shapes of the pieces, each 1.5 - 2cm across.
I think the cutting style must be similar to that of the legendary John Stokes III. I like the litle spirals, just because of the joy and skill involved in their making. I think this must be the first of Howard's jigsaws I've seen with line cutting around the figures.
