Question for the puzzle cutters

[Aggie]

What kind of wood do you use for cutting out your puzzles. 

[dgman]

If you are talking about standup puzzles, I always use 3/4” hardwoods such as Cherry and Poplar. If you are talking about jigsaw puzzles, I use 1/4” Baltic Burch plywood.

[Aggie]

Thanks and I wanted to know about both kinds of puzzles 

[Dan]

Dan agrees with Dan, poplar is my go-to for standup puzzles and baltic birch ply for jigsaw puzzles.

[Denny Knappen]

I only do standup puzzles and mostly use Poplar although I ordered some 3/4" Hardwoods for puzzles.

I always made the puzzles mostly from 3/4 Poplar but have made them out of many types of hardwoods too. IF you really want a challenging cut try one from 7/8" Hickory.. Don't ask how I figured that one out,  and of coarse I used one of the bigger patterns on this one too, I think it was the cabover semi or the bigrig semi pattern..
