Before the advent of cardboard puzzles, almost all jigsaw puzzles were made of real wood and cut by hand.  For the serious jigsaw puzzler, there is nothing quite as satisfying as plunking a wooden piece into place. Wooden jigsaw puzzles are still hand-cut today by a number of small companies, but are very expensive, running hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Liberty Puzzles was created to bring back the intricate wooden jigsaw puzzle at a reasonable price.
