PAR PuzzlesSince 1932, PAR Puzzles has been hand-cutting one-of-a-kind wooden jigsaw puzzles in its New York studio, often designing custom puzzles from customers’ photographs or favorite artwork. John and Justin Madden now carry forward the distinctive style developed by founders John Henriques and Frank Ware, including hand-drawn silhouette pieces that date to the 1930s and 1950s. Every puzzle arrives in a pictureless box and includes a “par time,” turning the finished image into both a surprise and a challenge.CORAM, NY

Canterbury Woods CreationsAfter leaving a 12-year technology career, founder Francis Twomey turned an oak bed made for his new upstate New York home into Canterbury Woods Creations, a woodworking studio making handmade furniture and custom commissions. Working primarily with domestic hardwoods, Twomey builds one-of-a-kind pieces around a client’s dimensions, space, and ideas rather than producing for quantity. The family’s J&J Twomey Collection adds handmade boards and trays crafted by his parents, with a tree planted and a portion of proceeds donated to the American Heart Association for each board or tray sold.VESTAL, NY
