Without posting the actual pattern can you tell us which pattern you are referring too? There are several Noah's arc patterns out there."Still Montana Mike"

I believe it's the Noah's Ark Puzzle in Dave Peterson's "Animal Puzzles" Book. I used 7/8" Cherry. The pieces are just about right when cut in two. The problem I had was getting the cherry pieces to be darker than the background, even though I stained them with Minwax cherry stain. They were essentially the same color. I could not find the stain he mentioned in the bookAttached Files

The thickness (not width) of the wood I think yes, 1 inch thickness. It really is not that critical though, 1 1/8th thickness, or 7/8" would work just as well. The more important thing is slicing the animals in half so that the two animals are as close as possible to being of equal thickness.Dale w/ yella saws

That is a FINE looking puzzle. I take it the 2 x 2 animals are 1 animal cut in half. That would be some 'fine' cutting - especially with a curly cue tail.

I did two of these, different sizes, and tried to split the animals on one, and on the third to last animal - giraffe - one leg split off. Nothing to back thin pieces, so haven't done it to the other.
Has anybody else experienced this?

Reply to Spring Issueby will8989And I used lots of it Carole! Folding, copying, lining up, matching, cutting away waste, repeat. A pattern the size of letter or legal size paper would have been much less time consuming.
