Hand Carved Wild Boar Pocket-Friend Marble Fidget Spinner

Totally unique and one of a kind!

This fierce boar pocket-friend is carved to feel beautifully smooth yet textured under your fingers, a solid stance and raised back to curve your palm around and a free spinning blue cats-eye marble to help you through your days!

Extra free spinning, the marble makes a lovely soft click when shaken and spins with a lovely free action. You can also hold the marble and spin the piggy while the scoop of its face and rounded feet are perfect for running your thumb and fingers across.  

As a child my favorite animal was a pig, and quite frankly I would have sold my brother's soul to possess this tiny carving, a pocket friend to help protect and soothe my days. 

Alternately this little pig will stand on a windowsill as a sun catcher, or near you just for company and decoration. 

When I created this little friend I carefully put the ages old soot side inward before gluing, thus creating a dark line of history, encapsulating the lifetime's worth of smoke this piece of wood has experienced.

The world has enough plastic in it, and I love spinners and fidgets, and could find NOTHING natural when I wanted to treat myself to a few so I invented these, a fidget that does nothing but good in the world.

The wood I carved this one from is most likely heart-wood chestnut, locally grown and cut sometime in the mid to late 1800s.

Currently we are renovating an ancient property in the mountains of Portugal which is the source of the wood I'm using for making fidgets and fidget spinners. The wood is from the kitchen loft and as the house is old enough to still have an open hearth in the kitchen and Roman pottery sherds in the floor, this place, and its wood, has been around for awhile.

As the wood is so old, it has buckets of character in the form of deeply embedded smoke, knots, dark growth lines, beetle holes and places I've pulled ancient nails (most of them hand forged) free, each and every fidget is a unique and beautiful work of art, taking as long to sand to satiny smoothness as they do to carve.
