I just ran across an interesting jigsaw puzzle on line. A little pricey, but I bet it would keep you busy:

Oh gosh! I don't think so! I'm into nature scenes. I think that one would surely drive me nuts! haha I've been looking at a couple wooden ones. But I bought a bunch of the regular ones to do in the future, so it might be awhile before letting myself get into wooden ones.
Here's a really neat one. It's a bit cheaper than the others. You can see in an image to the side how unusual the pieces are.

Here's my last 2. The first one is of Wood Ducks, and the second one is "The Road to Yesteryear". I love getting lost in the puzzle. I had to force myself to stop a couple weeks ago, because I have too much to do for christmas.......but when New Years comes..............

You pick the prettiest puzzles.
LOVE those wood ducks! Who is the maker of your puzzles, Cathy?
That Naughty Bird puzzle looks like fun--I like the puzzle shapes.
Some of those wooden puzzles are called "artifact" puzzles........I think it's because of all those hidden shapes. Some of those wooden puzzles can have quite bizarre images, but I like more nature stuff. But as you could see, it's pricey.......and some are $150. So......I wouldn't want to get addicted to those!
Well, the makers aren't usually the artists who have created the image. But they are the ones with the jigsaws! I like several of the companies. Cobble Hill made the Bateman ones and makes others. The only thing I don't like about them is that it seems they need to sharpen their saws. They always have a lot of white tags on their puzzle pieces and if the puzzle is darker, it really shows. I bought a package of different colors of permanent Sharpie markers and it covers up those tags very well. Also, Some people don't like Cobble Hill's style because all the pieces are different shapes and they don't go straight across the image, but are in wavy patterns. Some people really don't like that and find it too difficult. But some of us like that challenge.Quote:

I bought my son a Puzzlebug one of hot dogs. hahaha It's a thing he has. He's a vegetarian for the most part, but has a soft spot for a good hot dog. Anyhow, it was too hard for him and he gave up. I told him I'd do it and boy, was it cheaply made and because of that, it WAS really hard. It wouldn't stay together and sections of it would pop out, just by looking at it. But I finished it and glued it. But along the way, I had to put weights on those areas that kept popping up. It ended up making a good image, but I don't think I would order their puzzles again. And it definitely wasn't a nature scene! haha
Here's a pic of that silly, frustrating puzzle:
