In an earlier life ,I made some Flintstone boxes.
A friend of mine has a saw mill set up and he called me one day and said he was cutting some cedar logs and I might want to scavenge the scrap pile. So i went out and picked up some of the slab wood, cedar and maple. He lets his log set in the yard 2 years before he saws them.
So I made some boxes out of the slabs. They were quite popular ,made a lot of them, they were used as ash urines, receipe boxes, nix-nax boxes, etc.

The Reddish one is that Georgian Cherry by General finishes, gel stain, with water base Poly over it. The lady that ordered that one matched her furniture color.

The dark tan one is General/ Prairie Wheat gel stain with the Poly finish over.

The rest are just clear poly.

Hi Herb.

not sure what this is, " they were used as ash urines...". Spell checker issue?

James, Kieth is right, some people keep the ashes of their loved ones ,and beloved pets around instead of interning them at a mortuary. They are usually in a plastic box which they keep in the wooden box and they have a brass plate made and attached to the box.
I probably gave away 30 or more before of these boxes before the requests ended. They went all over the US and Even a Lady from U.K. took one home with her.
