Mr sawdust Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 The question du jour, Has anyone made cremation urns, other than on the lathe? I,m looking into a different project, that would send me back on the shop... SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 If you do a search on here of "urn" there are a few. Seems like I have seen more of them over on the "LumberJocks" site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 You can design your Urn any way you desire, Mr. Sawdust. There are things to keep in mind during your design. With mine, I always design them so that they have a permanent seal once the ashes are put in the Urn. If possible, avoid pine or soft woods at all cost. JMO & experience. Design it so it is large enough for inlays or designs, depending on What ya have in mind, or your customer desires. Like initials, a hobby, favorite sport, etc. Design it w/some sort of "handle" on the sides, & lift on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I belong to an organization called NC Woodworkers. We make cremation boxes for Vets. They are 9 x 9 and sized to be accepted in Arlington or any veteran cemetery. What are you looking for? SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first picture the sweet lady had just finished making 6 urns. As you can tell she was fighting cancer. She passed about a month later. She was a fellow scroller by heart and a very special person. On the side of the urn you see a circle. We have laser engraved inserts (made and donated by another one of our members) we put in there representing the branch of service of the vet. Most of the boxes are made of cypress that was also donated by one of our members. The second picture shows the inserts we use. The final picture shows one of our members presenting an urn to the family of a vet. All the urns are provided totally free of charge. The name of my group is NC Woodworker (Ncwoodworker.net). We are open to any wood worker in NC (or has a connection to NC) and all the states that border NC (VA, GA, SC, TN, WV). And we are free.
