As those of you who read my last post may have surmised, I needed to make a cremation urn. Thanks for the advice. This one is only 160 cubic inches, but if the rule of thumb of one cubic inch per pound of body weight holds, I think it will be fine. One of the children requested a "keepsake pouch" from the mortuary. My plan is to place any extra ashes in the smaller urn, in lieu of the keepsake pouch if the large one is inadequate. I still need to buff and clean the ABS threads.

The wood is cottonwood, from a tree that has special meaning. Curt, it's half a crotch and I got some curl, but nothing like the one you had. Finish is gloss WOP. The large one is about 10 x 7 inches.
