the lulu board

When my brother-in-law arrived for Thanksgiving dinner, he handed me the most incredible gift. And on Friday, he came with Evie to make pinecones and enjoy the walk to see the hogs, but he ended up spending most of the visit putting the finishing touch on his gift to me. Here we have the hands of an artist, a sculptor, a fine furniture maker. Someone we're so very blessed to call Family.


Here she is - The Lulu Board!


Modeled from this photo of the Hog-Muse herself, our sow Lulu.


And she's engraved, too. Just in case we forget who and when.


But I think it goes without saying that we will never forget. Thank you, John, for this most incredible of handmade gifts. If The Lulu Board would make the perfect gift for someone you love, she is available by special order. Please contact John through his website.

My personal, original Lulu Board is, of course, not for sale.

  1. Wow, that is incredible! I love it. I have a cutting board shaped like a pig, but it's nowhere close to as grand as this one is. Beautiful work, John!
