I agree, hanging on the wall would have been a more interesting choice. I was going for lying flat on the countertop, as I was trying to hide the fact I wasn't sure how to texture it so that the sides look painted red, while keeping the wood finish from topside. I just saw the pig kind growing up, but I see more variety in shapes these days. Yo! Litst! What shape do they use in France? Cheese-shaped?
