Shells

Another personal favourite and quite extraordinary plywood jigsaw puzzle, cut by Eric Pedley for the British Jigsaw Puzzle Library. A true master of his art, this puzzle features a hand-painted study of shells and starfish, cut in a superb combination of cutting styles.
Initially I thought this to be a one-off experimental exercise, but have since discovered this slightly larger 232-piece variant as well, so clearly a project which he very much enjoyed! I know that I did.
