Well its that time again, I don't mind making urns but I really don't like it when it is a close family member. My sister passed away last week and well here I am with the Paduak again. My sister loved Elephants so I designed a banner/inlay to go around the base with elephants. I use my trusty ol 45° sled to ensure perfect miters. Here are a few of the build pics and the finished urn beautifully finished with clear rubbed lacquer.

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. :crying:
That is one beautiful Urn that I'm sure she would be extremely proud of.

Hi Tony, boy you sure did an excellent job on the urn. Those for family members are extremely hard to make.
When you said you use wipe on lacquer, what product was that?

Hard to lose a sister. What a beautiful resting place you made for her. And the inlay band around the base is wonderful.
thanks guys the funeral was yesterday and it was well received there as well. @kywoodchopper it is not wipe on lacquer, it is sprayed on but rubbed out buffed with rottonstone then pumice to a gloss finish, a method my father used on his violins
