Description

The Police Officer Wood Puzzle is a 13-piece wooden brain teaser and personalizable keepsake for police officers and their families, a framed scene that doubles as a piece of art. Each interlocking hardwood piece is a different figure from a day on the force, and all 13 fit together inside a 7.5 by 7.5 inch frame. Set them all in place and the scene comes together. Tip them out and it is a hard puzzle again.

The 13 pieces: a burglar with a money bag, a burglar in jail, a police car, a motorcycle cop, a policeman, handcuffs, the scales of justice, a baton, a policeman on horseback, a badge, a cap, a police dog, and a revolver. Every piece is precision cut and laser etched, so the detail lives in the wood rather than printed on top of it.

Real hardwood, no two alike. Each puzzle is cut from at least five different quarter-inch hardwoods, drawn from cherry, several maples, ash, mahogany, red grandis, oak, birch, and walnut. Because we cut from whatever fine stock is on the bench that day, the wood mix and frame color shift from one puzzle to the next, so yours is one of a kind. The frame is 7mm floorboard for strength and scratch resistance, and a fitted wood cover lets you store the puzzle assembled or carry it without losing a piece.

A real challenge. This is a difficult puzzle. A good solving time is two hours or more if you have not seen it solved. It is built for adults and experienced puzzlers who want something that actually resists them.

Make it personal. Add a name, badge number, date, or short message with laser engraving on the frame or cover (choose the engraving option at checkout). That turns it from a puzzle into a keepsake for an academy graduation, a promotion, a retirement, or a thank-you to an officer.

Designed by our founder Dave Janelle and handcrafted in our family workshop in Hudson, Florida. Ships from our Florida shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Police Officer Wood Puzzle?

It is a 13-piece wooden brain teaser built around a police theme, where every piece is a different figure from the job. Assembled under its cover it reads as a framed piece of art; tipped out of the frame it is a hard puzzle. Our founder Dave Janelle designed it and we handcraft each one in Hudson, Florida.

How does it work?

All 13 laser-etched pieces fit together inside a 7.5 by 7.5 inch frame to complete the scene. It looks simple once solved, but putting it back from scratch is the challenge.

What are the 13 pieces?

A burglar with a money bag, a burglar in jail, a police car, a motorcycle cop, a policeman, handcuffs, the scales of justice, a baton, a policeman on horseback, a badge, a cap, a police dog, and a revolver.

How hard is it and how long does it take?

It is a difficult puzzle. A good solving time is two hours or more if you have not seen it solved, which makes it suited to adults and experienced puzzlers rather than a quick coffee-table diversion.

What is it made of?

Each puzzle is cut from at least five different quarter-inch hardwoods, which can include cherry, maple, ash, mahogany, red grandis, oak, birch, and walnut. We laser etch the detail into the wood rather than printing it on, so it will not wear off, and the frame is 7mm floorboard for strength and scratch resistance.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

Not exactly, and that is by design. We cut from whatever fine hardwood stock is on the bench, so the wood mix and frame color vary from puzzle to puzzle. Yours will be one of a kind.

Does it come with a cover?

Yes. A fitted wood cover lets you store the puzzle fully assembled or move it without losing a piece.

Who is it a good gift for?

It is a natural gift for a police officer or their family, and it fits milestones like an academy graduation, a promotion, or a retirement. Because it is a real challenge, it also suits an adult who likes to be stumped.

Where is it made and how does it ship?

We design and handcraft it in our family workshop in Hudson, Florida, and it ships from our Florida shop, with standard orders on their way within one business day.

Can I personalize the Police Officer Wood Puzzle?

Yes. The Police Officer Wood Puzzle can be personalized with a custom laser engraving on the frame or cover. Add a name, date, or short message when you order. See our laser engraving page for details and examples. For a custom logo or artwork, request a quote for custom work.
