Cremation Urn for puppies
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Hi:Recently I was asked to build a cremation urn for my son's elderly dog. “While you are at it, would you make it big enough for the remains of both our puppies, he said.So here it is, the finished project.Made from 3/4 hickory, with red oak for the base and under the lid. 10 x 8 x 8. Finished with a spray coat of Varathane Professional, satin.I chose to include the two formal names of the puppies on the front face, and their nick-names on each side. As well, since they are both Schnauzers, I chose to incise a portrait of a similar Schnauzer on the lid.Painting the incised areas really made them stand out.The joinery represents my first attempt at dovetail joint. I use a 'cheapo' dovetail jig, which I won't do again, as it took me many times more effort to figure the jig out than to router the final dovetails. My next dovetail project will be done the old fashion way, with a saw and chisels. Much more satisfying.
