Handmade Vintage Wooden "Nova" Puzzle sweet carving This sort of chainstitch embroidery

This sort of chainstitch embroidery

so I might just give them to yourself

and there are still a couple of nails on the back side to help hold them in place

Otherwise scattered stains and aging

I love it as an object and would indeed be inclined to hang it on the wall

Handmade Vintage Wooden "Nova" Puzzle sweet carving This sort of chainstitch embroideryI really like handmade wooden puzzles like this, which are just nice sculptural objects to have sitting around (I personally am reluctant to try to take them apart, even when there are solution instructions, as there are here, sweetly noting that this is a tricky one!) I believe this "Nova" puzzle is made of pine, which has been stained, and it is constructed of six identical interlocking parts. Great condition. Approx 3 3 4" each side.
