Canoe Casket

I always thought caskets were kind of morbid (maybe its my underlying fear of death) but I do like the Canoe casket theme. It shows that the person is going out the way they probably enjoyed life. I wouldn’t mind so much if my casket was in shape of a kayak.

But very nicely done, the curve of the bottom, did that take a long time to do. I ask because I am making a round top chest and my coopering is always off, no matter how exact I am. And your design is one type of cuve on one side and anither on the keel. Great cherry canoe on your other projects.

Great looking piece! If the customer had given it a bit more thought he could’ve had asked for a custom canoe to enjoy during life…then attach the top to enjoy during the afterlife. LOL

That is so unique! I should have gotten one made for my mother, who was afraid of drowning when she was buried. Very nice craftsmanship!

Beautiful work! Handmade caskets can be such a tribute to a life well lived. I come from a Mennonite background, and my dad was a cabinetmaker. We made caskets for both his parents, his sister, and a few for unrelated folks as well. Some were really simple, others more fancy, but always in the wishes of the family. It was a great way to show your respect and love for someone.
