I recently received a great gift of some beautiful vintage birch plywood from my wife’s grandfather. So to test the wood, I cut a smaller version of my elephant puzzle just for fun. It turned out being so cute that I decided to make two of them so I could try doing a small giveaway. So here it is. If you want to be entered to “win” this puzzle then simply leave a comment on this post. On Wednesday morning (October 20) I will randomly pick the winner from all those who have left a comment. I will ship world-wide so anyone can enter if they’d like!
The puzzle is about 3.5 by 5.5 inches, and finished with food grade beeswax.
UPDATE: The contest is over. See results on the following post!

I've already tried to make some of the toys you've posted about. And you inspire me a lot even for my classes, I've thinking a while of using your paper city to teach directions to Spanish students learning English… hoping it'll be a bit funnier this way. And ohhh, I'd love to get your elephant puzzle for my kids… Crossing fingers
