Hummingbird Urn

[courtym74]

A friend asked me to make an urn for their mother's cremains. They will bury the urn in the casket with their father who has now passed.  She picked a pattern from etsy (i think) and sent it to me. Building the urn itself was pretty straightforward but I was a bundle of nerves cutting this thin of a piece, especially the wing sections.  Over all the box is 8 inches wide and 6 tall.  Used a #2 reverse tooth. Solid maple for the construction as well as the cut. Planed the board to just under 1/2 an inch for the cut and inserts.   Red mahogany stain on the insets top and bottom.  They had the brass plate made and I also attached that. The name is blocked for family privacy.
