Event Description:
Learn the basics of a scroll saw to cut your own jigsaw puzzle, approx size 4″ x 6″ in high quality baltic birch ply.
David Beffa-Negrini started Fool’s Gold in 1997 with the mission to develop and create the finest wooden jigsaw puzzles available. Each of his puzzles is patiently crafted with a jigsaw blade no wider than a whisker. The woods used are a special blend of 1/4″ solid basswood backed by a beautiful double-thick striped mahogany veneer. Once the puzzle is cut, each piece is carefully hand-oiled, waxed, and polished, and then packed inside a gold lamé pouch fitted into a beautifully crafted black box.
The business grew from Beffa-Negrini’s private collection of pre-1950’s wooden jigsaw puzzles. From these earlier works, he observed that the true test of a great jigsaw puzzle was how satisfying and consuming it was to put the pieces together. Between a finely cut wooden jigsaw puzzle versus the standard cardboard variety of today…well, there’s no comparison. Beffa-Negrini is a Juried Member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. He also the past president and the current Quarterly editor of the Association for Games & Puzzles International.
