The dog’s name is not Fido, but I have had a few requests from a local vet for wooden cremation urns for dearly departed pets. This lidded box is honey locust. It is 9 inches tall and 4 inches across. The lid is hollow as well.
I applied several coats of Deft clear gloss brush on lacquer as a finish. This has a threaded lid and they will epoxy it closed after the remains are put in it.

Jeff, this is a nice project. I couldn’t think of a nicer tribute for a departed pet than to seal their ashes in an urn like this. The honey locust is beautiful, too.

What a wonderful way for pet owners to keep there pets close by even when they have departed. Great job on the Urn as well

Ahhh Honey locust, a beutiful but little used lumber species. I am glad to see other people using it. Now if we can get other people to use it, instead of sending whole trees to the chipper, landfill, or woodpile.
Very nice design, and nice finish on it.
