Your puzzle can also be made with a painted wood finish, available in colors limited only by your imagination. In addition, other wood characteristics including both natural and man-made imperfections can be specified. All of these options can be designated on your Puzzled Pets Order Form or you may choose to let us decide on the final look of your puzzle. Either way, your puzzle will always be handcrafted and finished to the highest of standards.

- Puzzles crafted with natural wood finishes show the inherent beauty of the wood. They are not stained but you may specify that a varnish be applied to enhance the natural woodgrain and to achieve a desired gloss level. Please keep in mind that each piece of wood is unique so color and grain pattern will vary. Additionally, all wood types are subject to availability.

- Puzzles can be made even more unique by specifying other wood characteristics. Some people prefer the wood in their puzzles to contain knots or man-made imperfections such as nail holes. Others may want the wood to be weathered or have a specific grain coarseness (which can change the difficulty level of the puzzle). Many of these characteristics show off our commitment to use only 100% recycled materials. Since there are so many possiblities, we give you the option of deciding which characteristics make the perfect puzzle. Please keep in mind that each piece of wood is unique so these characteristics will vary and are subject to availability.
