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!

    So sweet. No doubt, I'd love to win this puzzle. It's so pure, natural and basic. That's what makes it special.

    I love your ideas – simple and easy to do (once someone has pointed them out) and my 2 year old son would love to give the elephant puzzle a home here in New Zealand.

    So nice! It's not easy to find such things in my country (Bulgaria). It is rather the kingdom of plastic kitsch toys… so I would be happy to give one of those to my daughter. Or maybe ask my husband to try and make one in case we don't win yours. Thank you for the inspiration and the ideas – they thrill me as much as they are joyfull to the kids. You actually always manage to bring out the kid in me.

    I found your blog a while ago and it has filled me with inspiration, thanks Joel! Warm wishes from the southern most tip of Africa.

    Ooh, my son would looove this puzzle! I have always admired the design. I love everything you do, keep it up!

    Wow, that took a while to get to the bottom of the comments… And no wonder. These are the most beautiful things ever. My sons and I will never forget seeing the baby elephant "Luk Chai" at the zoo near us, Taronga Park, (in Sydney) when he was only months old. So perfect and walking around as though he'd been here for years, and yet so small compared with his mum and dad. Pruxxx

    Ooohh pick me pick me (please!)

    Love all your projects and still having fun with the paper city and it's 4 year old guardian, I think the elephants would enjoy living with us!

    Keep up the good work Joel

    I am amazed at your constant inspiration. There's always something cooking in Joel's little head. My boys would surely enjoy the puzzle but the odds will decide…
