Bichon Puppy Cremation Urn

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Bichon Puppy Cremation UrnHi:Today I completed the third in a series of three 'Puppy Cremation Urns for our family.There are 6 puppies between three families, and though all puppies are currently living, three are getting really old. Thus the desire to prepare for their eventual demise and loss to our families by building cremation urns in advance.This urn is for Apollo and Luna, both Bichon's, one apricot colored and the other snow white. They received their names in memory of the Apollo Space program and the first landing on the moon. My son's family are Nasa Nuts, so what else could we expect them to name their puppies. I'm surprise their children don't also have names like this :-)The box is made from 5/8 red oak with box-joints mitred at the corners. The lid is 1 hard maple which was 'domed' to allow more surface area for the portrait. The sides of the domed lid were mitred to add a bit of interest to the shape.Both the lettering on the sides of the box and the portrait on the lid are incised, then painted black. A partition was included in the box, and magnets added to help keep the lid in place, but with the contents still accessible.I had a lot of fun carving the portrait and am pleased that it is an excellent portrait of Luna, the white Bichon. I was also pleased with how crisp the image appears.Enjoy :-)
