Depicting Mark Ogge’s painting “American Dream” commissioned for OPM, this jigsaw puzzle contains 1,000 hand-cut wooden pieces with shapes including the Starship Enterprise and Spiegelworld Secret Society symbol.

Meticulously hand-cut from the finest cherry wood, his one of a kind creations are collected and treasured as unique and precious heirlooms.
