Family death & tragedy

Ron, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father and brother in such a short time spam. I will be praying that you and your family will feel God’s presence in a special way and will provide the strength and wisdom needed to get through this.

Feel free to PM me if you have any special requests or needs that I might help you with.

My deepest condolences on your loss. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to lose two people in your life so close together. Please let your family know that I’m thinking of them.

As far as the picture frame goes, it’s going to come down to the stile you’re looking for. If it’s a more traditional frame, those are pretty simple, mitered corners and so forth. You could do a simple mitered frame with a wood “mat” inside. I’ve done this a few times and the come out real nice. You make the outer frame like you would any typical picture frame, to go inside that I cut a piece of half inch birch ply that I’d put a nice veneer on (if you want to cut 4 pieces with 45 degree ends to look like they are mitered, that’s an option). In the plywood I cut the rabbet for the glass and picture. I hope that gives you an idea to start with.

I can’t give much advice on turning an urn, I’ve not tried to do a hollow vessel before. However, if you don’t know about it already, www.woodturningonline.com has some great projects, including hollow vessels and urns (one in particular about how to use a PVC threaded cap fitting to close your urn.

Good luck.

Ron, my deepest condolences.. I had a simlar situation last year in my family. Losing my father in May and my brother (age 50) in November. My father was 83 so it was his time to go and having to deal with his death was easier than my brother of which I still can’t get over. I hope someday when we meet again I’ll understand why he had to go so young, but until then we will just pray that he is at peace and in the loving hands of the lord. I hope the same for your brother and father.

Best wishes and prayers to you and your family.

Ron, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family. I think I sent you a prayer my only daugther sent me when she lost her first baby recently. I felt it was her way of letting me know she was going to be alright. It might be nice to send it to your brothers family.

God Bless
