Quick answer
Frame your completed Too Many Bones Wooden Artifact Puzzle in a shadow box or custom frame to protect the laser-cut wood pieces and show off the artwork from the Too Many Bones universe.
Why framing matters for laser-cut puzzles
Unlike cardboard puzzles, the Wooden Artifact Puzzle pieces are laser-cut wood with detailed artwork printed on the surface. The pieces can warp or get scratched if left exposed to humidity, dust, or direct sunlight. A frame with UV-protective glass keeps the colors vibrant and the wood stable.
The puzzle's irregular shape and thickness (about 3-4 mm) mean standard puzzle frames won't fit. You need a shadow box or a custom frame with enough depth to accommodate the pieces without pressing down on them.
How to display your Too Many Bones Wooden Artifact Puzzle
- Choose a shadow box or custom frame: Measure the completed puzzle dimensions (roughly 12 x 16 inches) and buy a shadow box at least 1 inch deep. Standard puzzle frames are too shallow for laser-cut wood. A custom frame shop can make a frame with a mat that holds the puzzle in place without glue. Common mistake: using a standard puzzle frame that crushes the raised pieces.
- Mount the puzzle on a backing board: Apply puzzle glue or clear-drying craft glue to the back of each piece, then press the puzzle onto a foam core board or acid-free mat board. Let it dry flat for 24 hours. Do not use spray adhesive—it can seep through the laser-cut gaps and damage the surface. Checkpoint: ensure the board is cut to the exact puzzle shape so it fits snugly in the frame.
- Add UV-protective glass or acrylic: Use a frame with UV-protective glass or acrylic to prevent fading from sunlight. Acrylic is lighter and less likely to break if you move the display. Avoid non-glare glass—it can soften the fine details of the relic and item artwork. Common mistake: placing the puzzle in direct sunlight without UV protection, causing the printed art to fade within months.
- Hang or place away from humidity sources: Mount the framed puzzle in a room with stable humidity (40-50%). Avoid bathrooms, kitchens, or exterior walls where moisture can warp the wood. If you use a shelf easel, ensure the frame is stable and won't tip over.
- Clean the glass gently: Dust the glass with a microfiber cloth. For smudges, spray glass cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the frame, to prevent liquid from seeping into the wood. Never use water or cleaner on the puzzle itself. Checkpoint: inspect the puzzle edges every few months for signs of warping or dust buildup.
