Discover and share the joy of wooden jigsaws
We live in a culture where everybody is always busy, in a hurry, and mainly connected to others through their digital devices. Yet many are still lonely, bored and disconnected from those living around them. It is time to rediscover the value of face-to-face relationships and the beauty of tangible, hands-on projects, away from screens. In our fast paced lives puzzles allow us to slow down and have a quiet moment by ourselves or to spend time with friends and family while being engaged in a fun and relaxing activity.
I rent out my puzzles with specially designed puzzle boards for convenient and safe assembly, so they can be used at a table or even while sitting up in an armchair or in bed. Why don't you rent a wooden puzzle for you and your family, surprise a friend with a puzzle-visit, or share it with an elderly person in your neighborhood who would enjoy company and a peaceful activity?
About Wentworth Wooden Puzzles
The Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company was founded in 1994 by Kevin Wentworth Preston, in Wiltshire,England. Wentworth is at the cutting edge of jigsaw manufacturing by using state-of-the-art laser technology and their jigsaws represent the very best of British materials and craftsmanship.
Wentworth puzzle pieces are uniquely shaped and the designs are first drawn by hand. Typically no two puzzle pieces are the same, the edge and corner pieces can be fiendish and you should not be surprised to discover straight edges in the middle of the puzzle. When you are down to the last few pieces you may still wonder what goes where?!
Wentworth puzzles follow the Victorian puzzle-making tradition with their famous "whimsy" pieces that are intricate and artistically designed puzzle shapes that reflect the image theme. They can also be shaped like letters and spell a greeting such as "Merry Christmas", "Happy Birthday", "Happy Anniversary", etc. Wentworth whimsies are always a delightful surprise and they make a great conversation piece.
Wentworth offers jigsaws with two different size puzzle pieces. Most puzzles (40, 75, 140, 250, 500, 750) come with the smaller size pieces. The 50 and the 100 piece puzzles are mainly intended for children or adults who prefer to work with larger pieces as they are easier to handle and quicker to assemble.
