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!

    Your blog always brings a smile to my face. If we were so fortunate as to win the elephants, I think I would spend as much time playing with them as my daughters would!

    This would be a great addition to my 4 year old son's therapy toys. He has issues with fine and gross motor skills due to having 6 heart surgeries (he has a congenital heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome).
    Thanks,

    I always think of how lucky your kids are to get so many beautifully created items. Now my kids and I can experience this same warmth if I am chosen.

    It would be amazing to win this lovely thing. My friend's baby son has just passed away, and it would be lovely to send this to his brave big sister. In memory of Elias. RIP little man.

    Looks like 358 people were quicker than me – but I guess chances are equal ;-))) and my youngest daughter just loves elephants (although she still can't pronounce the word)
