Very nice! It sounds like your grandfather was a great person to know. I like the urn a lot. Quartersawn has it’s own unique look, & I like the inlaid cross too.

Thanks for posting it.

Really nice project, John. It came out beautifully. The oak knot is great, it really does remind you of all those scrub oaks in SLO.

Your box is quite elegant as is your accounting of his life.

Wishing you the best;

Great tribute to a great man. He will be missed. His breed are dying off at a fast rate now, those that served in WW11 and Korea. Least we forget.
