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!
That is adorable!
I hope I win!
Pretty sure I'm gonna win this.

LOVE ALL YOUR STUFF!!! I LOVE YOUR AUFSMITZ!
When I was almost 2, my parents took me to the zoo. When I saw the elephants I pointed and said, "Aufsmitz!" My mother said, No, Elephant. Apparently I was very convinced and got louder and said, "MMMMMMMMMMMM AUFSMITZ!" My mom said, "Fine, Aufsmitz," and the name stuck.
I love your AUFSMITZ!
I *heart* elephants!
