Cremation Urns and other Funerary Items

A great job on the urn but a sad one

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

That’s nice work. Sorry about your loss.

What’s with the otter? Nice pic.

Sorry for your loss. Nothing will make you stop and think more than loosing a loved one. Use it to make your life better. I found that it is the one of the only times when we think about what really matters and life’s superficial things don’t cloud your judgement.

Beautiful work, Dan. I enjoyed your Blogs as well. I hope you’ll pardon me if I say it is my most sincere wish, that you won’t have need to do this sort of work again anytime soon.

Beautiful workmanship and results. I never thought of cutting the tails on the table saw. Nice results.

Beautiful urn. Sorry for your losses. I know what that is like. I find a kindred spirit in your work. I too have had to built funerary items for my parents and some other loved ones. It is as you said, a privilege; but none the less a heartbreaking task. You do fantastic work. The families, I am sure, appreciate the work you have done on their loved ones behalf.
Thank you for sharing your talents and projects with us all.

Dan,

I can’t say I know how you feel but I certainly know what you feel. More of a brother than an in-law that died two months ago. I made him a box too. It was the least I could do. It has happened or will happen to each of us. It is true equality. All grieve with you, each in their own way.
