The McTavish collectors series 1959 Balsa Pig

" Its been a long time coming but the first 2 of the Balsa Collectors boards are ready to go. These are some of the most beautiful boards we've ever had come through our factory - solid balsa, double glossed, laminated timber D fin (thanks Piers!) with a beer tinted halo (thanks Wiz!), and a numbered copper plaque, that we can mount on the deck or on the bottom depending on how the board will be displayed. There will be just 12 made, all hand finished and signed by Bob. "

The little master right where he likes to be...

All Pig...

I look forward to seeing one of these in the flesh. I will be down that way on Friday , might have to check them out.

Bob McTavish and the Balsa Pigs

Each one hand shaped and signed by the little master

Here's a couple of photos taken by Samuel Lindsay of Bob working on the first 2 of our limited edition balsa pigs. 12 boards will be made all-up, over the next 12 months, and each will be hand-finished and signed by Bob. They are all solid balsa, have a glass-on timber D fin, and an individually numbered copper plaque instead of a decal. These are beautiful collectors boards, and will look great on the wall, or if you're keen, in the water. I'll get more photos up as they come through.
