More jigsaw puzzles and boxes

[JOE_M]

My mom sent a large box of books/photos with a request for jigsaw puzzles, some for her and some for her to give to a friend. I've just started scratching the surface, but here are 10 Amish puzzles from a photo book by Bill Coleman. Four of them in individual boxes made from Chakte Viga, and the other six are in double-boxes made from oak/walnut, leopardwood, and purple heart/eucalyptus.

You'll have to use your imagination, as I am not going to reassemble the puzzles just to take a pic.

The other box (tan oak) with four compartments holds a set of 8 flower-themed puzzles from, I think, Manet paintings. They are smaller, so I chose two puzzles with similar colors/backgrounds for each compartment to be assembled together.

Not pictured are four Normal Rockwells and a set of 3 small Amish puzzles, and something with a cat that I will be building boxes for once I decide on a box style - I don't want to just build the same box over and over.

Thanks. I resaw down to 1/4" for small boxes, the bigger one might be a bit closer to 5/16 - whatever feels right.
