“For the past 35 years, I have met most of the top scroll saw designers in the country.
Many have become good friends. Years ago, I came across around a dozen fantastic scroll saw puzzle patterns. I was so impressed that I made most of the puzzles and gave them to my grandkids. While I did not know the designer’s name at the time, I remember thinking that he should write a book. When I received a draft of this book for review, I immediately recognized the design work as the same I had loved years ago. There are many good scroll saw designers out there, but Jaeheon’s work stands out as truly amazing. His designs are unique and will attract a lot of attention wherever they’re displayed. His new book, 20-Minute Scroll Saw Puzzles, will make you smile.”

About Pattern Designer & Author
Jaeheon Yun spends turns “families” of animals into massive wooden constructions! With his little shop helper and puzzle tester, his son Jimin, Jaehoen runs his small business out of his two-room workshop in Yangpyeong, a town east of Seoul, South Korea.
Really, his son Jimin is how the puzzle business started. “We wanted to make something for our baby with our own hands,” Jaeheon recalled. Then he discovered the scroll saw. Although puzzle design was not a popular art form in South Korea, he began dabbling in jigsaw puzzles, adapting the classic tab-and-blank pieces into cute, stylized animals reminiscent of those found in Japanese toys. Animal pieces that interact with each other in a larger project, he says, are like little “families.”
Jaeheon’s buiness is named Namunolie, which combines two Korean words meaning “tree” and “play,” a perfect title for a designer specializing in wooden toys. Jaeheon’s new shop houses a fleet of Hegners, Jets, and Excaliburs, ready to do just that—keep “playing” with natural materials whenever inspiration strikes! Find Jaeheon’s family puzzles in his new book 20-Minute Scroll Saw Puzzles.
