Cremation Urn

[michael_schwartz]

I made this burial urn for my Uncle who passed away recently.

Wood is Tiger maple with a hand rubbed oil varnish. The lid is black walnut.
I cut the dovetails with my 24" Leigh Super jig. Note that I retouched out some of the carved text, (full name, and date) for privacy.

This also marks the first project to come out of my shop since Hurricane Irene came through. After 2.5 months I am back up and running.
Lesson learned, never place anything of any value near a river. I was fortunate to only receive a couple inches of water in my shop but it was still quite a mess.
