I´m cutting boards like this, and kids love it with here name.
I make the hole round, so you can use it as a eggcup holder.

When I submitted this article I had included several diffent designs. The editor decide to go with the pig only. Here are plans for a cow, a slice of bread, a coffee mug, and a flying pig.

Some people say the mug looks like a beer stein. (beauty is in the eye of the beer holder)

I call the flying pig, pigasus. It represents the human spirit. My biggest limitation is me. A flying pig doesn't fly far or long. However it flys with spirit, hoping to fly a bit further each day. Small wing span but a big heart.

Thanks so much for sharing the others...That is very nice of you. I like the pigasus idea...rather a fun idea.

Just kidding. Very cute!

I have already bought some hard maple for the cutting board. It will be a gift to the lady I made the "Pig in a Blanket" intarsia for. Thanks for the pattern.
