Wood You Like is a small, Irish-owned woodcraft business producing handcut jigsaws, toys and puzzles in solid wood at different levels of complexity for all ages.
We use salvaged Irish hardwoods like beech, ash and walnut. All the wood is dried in our own kiln and we take great care to use toy-tested, non-toxic paints, finishes and lacquers.
Explore our website to find the perfect present for children and adults of all ages.
Just click on each image to see the bigger picture!
Wood You Like toys are suitable for all children aged 3 upwards and range from simple multicoloured jigsaws with large pieces to jigsaws with several layers.
From elephants to fairytales, there is something here to please every child.
We have jigsaws of ducks, cows, dinosaurs, fish, penquins, sheep, swans, squirrels, giraffes, camels, parrots, tortoises ... and a lot more besides.
If you don't see your favourite animal, email us and we'll see what we can do for you.
Wood You Like produce a wide range of layered toys in strong birch ply. Each layer unfolds to reveal a different scene beneath.
In the Cat and Fiddle puzzle here, each layer reveals another stage of the nursery rhyme. If you click on the Cat and Fiddle image here, you will see another layer of the Cow jumping over the Moon. Subsequent layers show the little dog laughing to see such fun and finally, the dish running away with the spoon.
Other puzzles reveal smaller and smaller versions of the main picture or different stages of a fairytale.
As with all our toys, all stains and lacquers used are non-toxic and toy-tested, so children can safely spend hours playing, and learning, with our toys.
Wood You Like offer personalised jigsaw names in plain or multicoloured solid wood. Everything from Anne to Zoë is in stock.
We can incorporate accents, hyphens, question marks - just let us know what you want. We can make any name you like - perfect for that present with the personal touch.
Or simply say it in wood - for Valentine's Day? Mother's Day? Birthday? Make it a lasting message and show you care - in plain or coloured wood.
For the executive in your life, our unique three-dimensional puzzles, handcut from solid walnut, elm or yew can be specially commissioned or ordered from stock.
Examples range from musical instruments to hunting birds to company logos. Tell us or show us what you want and we will make it for you.
Wood You Like use many different types of hardwoods. See the difference in grain and texture - Beech, Walnut, Ash, Elm and many more. Each wood has its own particular beauty and each has its particular uses. .
Wood is naturally a very durable substance. If not attacked by living organisms, it will last for hundreds or even thousands of years. Freshly-cut wood contains considerable water, which amounts to from one-third to more than one-half of the total weight. The drying of wood before it is processed into timber is called seasoning. Wood may be seasoned either by air-drying or kiln-drying. We at Wood You Like air-dry our wood and then kiln-dry it in our own kiln so that we can be sure it has the correct moisture content.
The main woods we use are Ash and Beech for the toys and names, and walnut and yew for our three-dimensional puzzles.
