I make music boxes and furniture so I am always curious. I love the maple panels that made them unique. Breck

I did use the router table for the profiles. Overall, the project was, yet another, learning exercise. If I make any more similar boxes, I would use a locking mitre bit for the corner joints. I wanted to inlay the top but chickened out. Maybe next time.

Jennie,
Don't sell yourself short...........from what I've seen of your
work you can turn a cremation urn on the lathe.
Just try!
I felt the same at one time, but I was determined to make it work, its not much harder than turning a vase or bowl.
If the photo comes thru its of my first Urn.
Its made from a Catalpa tree with a piece of Birch turned and carved to represent an "eternal flame".
Its 12" x 4" with 50 cu. in., large enough for a med. size pet.
As an artist, your comments are welcome, and as far as your concerned......TRY IT ! you might like it.

I am starting to do a little hollowing now, so I will get there on something like this. I also have a lathe big enough to do it now. Something to aspire to. How did you make the flames? I like them.

(a little tedious). Using oil paints I finished it off and Poly'd it for protection.
