Spring Pigs

     I made these pig bodies from old fishing buoys. The fisherman would tar the buoys to water proof them - they were made from cedar and would carve the hold out with a knife of lathe.

Pigs Can Fly!

     Here's my latest piece - "pigs can fly".   The propeller sure spins when they're in the wind!

    The pigs are made from wood.   The legs are made from old bed spindles legs. 

     I have a bushing (a type of bearing) in the propeller to cut down wear - it makes then spin faster.
