Our pigs are handmade with solid pieces of hardwoods. No glue used. Different sizes and different woods for ALL TASTES. Hard Maple is the most popular one. We also have birds eye maple, walnut crotch and simply walnut wood options. Ebony Eye on the best side is optional. The pigs thicker than an inch can be CAREFULLY DISPLAYED in your kitchen, as they stand on their own “feet”, decorating your kitchen beautifully. They are useful kitchen tools and one-of-a-kind gifts.
