Project Information

This urn is a commissioned project for a customer's dog's ashes. She wanted it to look like one she saw on ETSY but that one was not big enough and the turner could not make one big enough for her dog- it had to be at least 30 cu. in.This one will hold 2 1/2 cups or about 35 cu. in.

It is made from spalted beech with a walnut top ring and foot. The flame shaped plug was also a request. She wanted pronounced grain lines in the flame and the spalting was the best I could do!

It is finished with EEE, Shellawax, and 6 coats of clear matte spray.

I hope she likes it….........Jim

A really beautiful urn Jim, great use of the wood and I'm sure the lady won't be complaining. Still wonder at how many hours in a day you have over there, you seem to use every minute of them.

Nice job Jim,
I am sure your urn will reflect the loss and love they had for their companion.

Thank you all for all the nice comments. The customer called me and will pick it up on Monday. I made that little walnut stand so I could photograph the projects better by showing them all the way to the bottom.

.G'day, Tony. Yes, it is summer here but it was unbearable here until Friday when we got some much needed rain.We missed the hottest July on record by .1 degree. I don't like 90 and above and it was over 100 many days!!

I have been doing a lot of turning in the barn but my show car is in there and I pulled it out today for a show and it was coated with 1/4" of dust. I washed 4 cars today!! At the car show today, I drew up my next project. It will be relevant to this season.

You guys and gals are the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................Jim
