Can we talk about wooden puzzles? Some people love them. There are many online groups for wooden puzzles. Some brands, some more generally. My Facebook is full of advertising and advertising for all kinds of wooden puzzles. On the other hand, some people do not like or like. I noticed that they were not famous in my puzzles groups, so I wondered why.
In my case, I tried a wooden JaCou and I loved it. We recently have some new Ravensburger wood puzzles. Great quality puzzles. However, for about a year now, I’ve left a UIDU on my shelf and I haven’t even opened it yet.
I realized why. And I will give you my thoughts and perhaps you will be encouraged to give them more love in your puzzle collection.
First of all, they’re not like traditional hardbacks. These pieces are thicker, and they’re not broken, they slide together. Thus, they need more time to separate. If you want to remove the puzzles, this is a time-deplored effort. You need to take it slow, piece by piece. If you want to frame them, you’ll understand.
They’re expensive. Let’s face it, you can pay under 30 dollars for 1,000 pieces. Why pay $9 for $198? We need to remember that paper and wood are not the same. They are not produced the same, experience is very different. We can’t compare both. At any rate, some are afraid to start because let us face this problem — we are caught in the collection.
Did you know that some people are allergic to crude wood? I don’t know what this is about, but it’s obviously a problem. The smell of wood can be controlled if you are not used to it and may limit the time a person can spend on puzzles until it melts.
As for me, I know why Unijir is still sitting there. Like many riddles, I have little experience with wooden puzzles as I would like. I was worried it would only take too long.
I’ll be alert to the wind and open the box next week. Will you join me? I know they’re not cheap, but treat yourself. Tell me what you think of the wooden puzzle! I’ll send you pictures when I’m done, so wait and see.
