Project Information
A couple Sundays ago my father in law passed away unexpectedly. He was to be cremated so I volunteered to make an urn for his ashes.
This box is made from aromatic cedar and walnut. I put (walnut) corner splines in place and ran a strip through the boards used for the top and bottom. The sides were cut from a single piece of cedar that I split down the middle and bookmatched. I kept the pieces in order so the grain is continuous over three of the four sides. I used a simple wax finish on the outside.
My wife seems to really like it and I think that it will be a fitting place for his ashes to be. I think that it came out pretty good.
