spalted maple cull box WIP

[FredP]

this is a cremation urn for a cat. It was commissioned yesterday and started today hope to start finish process tomorrow while we got this good weather.
I only had enough material for 2 sides so I resawed it and laminated it to some plain mapleto get the thickness I wanted. it will be a lift off lid and I will be adding a ebony knob of some sort. the inlays and splines are bloodwood.

That's sharp Fred :icon_thum:icon_thum:icon_thum Was a lift off lid requested? Most cremation urns/boxes I have seen usually have a screw attached bottoms. You don't want that thing getting knocked over and spilling it's contents.

Well I guess you didn't need anymore anymore spalted maple cull - but let me know if you do. I got a few pieces left. Is that really cull? :gar-La;

they's culls of the culls!:gar-Bi that was the end of one of the cull boards I used to make the MIL's table. the board was abut 2' long and tapered with bark on from about half way down the a point on the other end.:icon_cheers [too pretty to throw away!:eusa_danc the blood wood was from klingspore. it was marked as cull and marked way down. I got 2- 1x12's x8' for cheap because they were checked and warped and cupped and...... kinda like the sweet gums gonna look when it's dry.:rotflm: I bought it figuring on a few thousand pen blanks!:gar-Bi I do want those boards you found too! just for the fun of it!ccasion1.
