In addition to the urn I made for Surge, the greyhound I lost last month, I also made this one for my other greyhound named Candy. This urn is out of tarara canarywood with bloodwood for the accents. The bottom panel is alder.
The lid is slightly rabbeted so the box can be stacked with similarly sized urns. The hole near the top lip on the face of the first picture is for a sliding dovetail “key” that locks the lid down. The last picture provides a better detail image of how it works.
The finish is about 3 coats of shellac wiped on and then buffed with wax.
May Candy have many strong, healthy years before this box sees any use.

Another nice looking urn. Hopefully you won’t need it for a long time.

Well done. Nice combination of woods. I bought some canary wood a few years ago, but haven’t used it yet. It’s got some great color, reds, yellows, etc.
Thanks for posting.

Man that is a beautiful box. I don’t think I would want to bury it. You must really love that dog.
