Project Information

Ok, so there is nothing spectacular or a lot of skill involved in making one of these. But the story is what makes it creative.
With our kids being older, one of the easiest gifts to get them is gift cards or money cards. While it may be a cop out for a gift they seem to like them or even need them.
So to put the idea of the thought that counts in a gift I made a couple of these pigs.
At first glance of these pigs they look like a simple pig cut out of a piece of wood. But they are laminated with the middle lamination having a void big enough for gift cards and debit cards. To put the cards in you just pull the pigs butt off and put the cards inside and put the butt back on. Needless to say they were a hit and a lot of jokes were flying off the cuff.

IS that eastern red cedar? Red Grandis? Cool idea.

Josh,
Yes, that is a cedar native to NC. Its very plentiful in my area. I get pieces of it all the time and cut them into project lumber.
