Nice puzzle, Ducky...but they drive me nuts trying to figure them out!! I made one and I don't think I can get it apart now!!

JJ you use glue for the "parts of parts" not between parts.

Also helps to grow a third hand so you don't have to use glue to stop parts from falling out/apart when solving.

Never tried the buffer on wood before...

The beauty of buffing wood is that you don't add that extra layer... while the thickness of many finishes is only a thou', it makes a helluva difference when fitting puzzles/shop-made jigsaws.  Also CA works well on pre-buffed stuff... layered finishes separate.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
