    Cremation Urn

    I had the pleasure of photographing a cremation urn made by my friend Leon Lacoursiere of Dalmas, SK. and wanted to share the images !

    The wood is figured cherry. Leon turned the cylinder, hand and power carved the details, threaded the lid and made the wax casting of the dove and it's base.

    Profanity is the futile effort of a feeble mind, to exert itself forcefully.
