In a world full of mass-produced entertainment, we believe there's value in slowing down and making something by hand. At Puzzle by Knight, every wooden jigsaw puzzle we create is thoughtfully designed and carefully hand cut, with the intention of being enjoyed again and again.
If you’ve ever wondered what makes our puzzles different, here’s a look behind the pieces.
Handcrafted Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles — Made One at a Time in Maine
Our puzzles are hand cut wooden jigsaw puzzles — not machine-stamped or mass-produced. Every puzzle is carefully cut, finished, and assembled in Maine. Each piece is individually cut using a scroll saw, which means no two puzzles or pieces are ever exactly the same.
This hand-cut process allows us to create:
- Organic, freeform pieces (no grid patterns)
- Whimsical-shaped pieces you won’t find in cardboard puzzles
- A tactile, satisfying fit that only wood can provide
If you’re searching for handmade wooden puzzles, artisan jigsaw puzzles, or hand-cut wooden puzzles, you’re in the right place.
Made From Hardwood — Built to Last
Unlike traditional cardboard puzzles, our puzzles are made from sturdy 1/4" hardwood with a protective top laminate, designed to last for generations.
Our wooden puzzles offer:
- A sturdier, more premium feel
- Pieces that don’t bend, peel, or fray
- A laminated finish that resists fingerprints and paper peeling
- A smooth, sanded and polished back for an even better feel
- A puzzle you can enjoy again and again
Many of our customers purchase our puzzles as heirloom gifts, knowing they’ll hold up to repeat use and display beautifully when completed.
Original Artwork & Photography You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Every Puzzle by Knight design starts with artwork or photography we love — often created by local artists or captured during our own travels and adventures.
We specialize in:
- Nature and wildlife puzzles
- Scenic photography puzzles
- Artist collaborations
- Our own personal artwork
- Custom photo puzzles made from your own images
This means you’re not just assembling a puzzle — you’re experiencing a story, a place, or a moment.
