A Mother's Urn

absolutely beautiful. some amazing lines

Joey, Very nicely done, I have also built a few of these lately, a very humbling build, always asking myself is it good enough? I also think it is a great honor, thanks for sharing, Bob

Thanks Bob, I am still asking myself that. I guess I will continue to until it reaches it’s destination.

I’m sure the recepient will cherish it. Did you consider carving her Mother’s name on it? And perhaps the dates of her birth and death

I read somewhere (certainly around here) that in order for these to hold well with the acidic ashes inside, you need some special wood but I can’t remember which one… Anyway, it looks beautiful.

Most of the ones I have seen are made from everyday oak and cherry. Plus the remains are in a sealed plastic back so I hope there will be no problems. I will have to research that some. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

With just some quick research, I have found nothing about this. And just browsing whats available, they are made in all kinds of woods.

Perhaps you were thinking of Spanish Cedar and humidors?

Anyone know about this please chime in. I would hate to have a problem on a box that is this important to someone.

Nicely done. Like the maple you used. Relates well with the bubinga.
