when you start getting orders for them, you can just put on the label, made in Charkansas.

That is productive approach Frank, why do you think you should not use it? Unless you wanted a different board color, I wouldn't hesitate and go for it.

I also second the idea of making the boar head as big as the board allows you.

Thanks Toni. To me, it just felt like a shortcut over doing my own milling, cutting, planing, etc. It really turned out to be a productive, and inexpensive way of making this small project.
The Razorback hog (our state university mascot) small cheese cutting board was at my daughter's request. She approved the size beforehand. I have already made her a large cutting board for kitchen use. It is something I hope she will use for many-many years.

finished

Here is the finished board boar.
The bamboo was very easy to cut on the bandsaw. The material sands easily. I just used a little mineral oil and that is it. The white dowel I inserted for the eye turned dark. I think it looks better, not planned but a nice outcome.
