Determine how large you want your puzzle to be.  Mine is around 5 inches which makes it easy for a simple table top puzzle.

If you resize it be sure to grab both the top and bottom to ensure they come out the same size.

This is best cut on the honeycomb so that fallen pieces won't accidently get hit by the laser once they fall down.

Place your wood in the laser and line it up with your camera image.  Cut it out using the default basswood settings.

Grab the pieces and go ahead and reassemble them once now.  This lets you check that all of the parts go together easily are are not too tight and also makes sure that you have the right sides up when you go to stain or paint it.

Stain or paint any parts that you want to give extra definition to.  

I wanted this to still have pretty natural colors so I picked a couple of different minwax stains that I had on hand to color the parts of the bee and the outer edges.

After any stain or paint is fully dry spray the parts with a clear spray paint to seal them against dirt and oils from repeated handling.

Glue the outer frame to the backerboard.  I used a superglue but you can use any glue that is wood friendly.

Ensure that all edges are lined up neatly.

After the glue is set assemble the other parts back into the frame to admire your finished puzzle!
