Once in a while a puzzle cutter showed a talent for cutting a wood puzzle in a unique way. Such is the case with Robert England, who cut a wood puzzle featuring an image of World War I hero John Pershing, in the 1930s. England's cuts do not interlock, nor do they resemble most of the typical hand cut puzzles of that era. Instead, he favored small tubular or forklike cuts, with some color-line cutting and a divided corner to add to the difficulty of assembly.
