OT: Piggy Banks

My mom has started a collection for each of her grandchildren and soon to be grandchildren.  For my LO, she has decided that she will collect Ships/Boats for him which I think is a FANTASTIC idea, as his other set of grandparents are from the Maritimes.  

I have been looking all over for a piggy bank that is wooden and a ship/sailboat type style.  All the ones I'm finding are very cartoony. I I want this bank to be something he can grow with. I can find really beautiful wooden train banks but not ships.  

Does anyone know where I might be able to shop for one or even have one custom made?

This is one that I found.

 Thanks, I found that one too.. But it's tiny.  It would only hold a few quarters before it got full.. LOL  I saw that one in the mall today.  

I'm pretty much looking for the same stylish of that, but in wood and larger?

Here are a couple that i found...They are not wood, but still cute.

Have you tried eBay? Or failing that, see if you can find a local woodworker and ask them about making one up for you? Check your town's local Saturday Farmers Market or craft fairs. Most towns have wood crafters that would love to make something like this!

Oh and don't forget to check on Craig's List--but get references! :c) Good luck!

 Yeah, I've checked Ebay.  I've emailed a few woodworkers that I have found online.  I would really like a classic looking ship and have it stained to the same color as the nursery room furniture.  

Thanks!
