Default Razor Back Pig

I am donating this to a charity auction held in Hot Springs AR. The wood is seasoned white oak with a thinned red stain I will go over the tusks once more before I finish it with satin poly. I have around 30 hours in it chainsaw around 20%, side grinders 60%, mallet and gouges 20%. I hope they a nice high bid on it.

Wow Don, that looks great!

I would think someone will pay a pretty penny for this one.

A great contribution to the cause.

Great looking boar Don. I like the way the natural checking in the timber imitates hair lines along the body. Great use of the natural properties of that timber.

That there ain't no pig. That there is a hog. You can pet a pig but if you value your digits I wouldn't pet no hog.
Mighty fine looking no matter what you call it!
