spalted maple cull box WIP
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.

Re: spalted maple cull box WIP
That's sharp Fred
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.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around$100$150$200, and I need a few more tools.

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?

they's culls of the culls!.gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")
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.
[too pretty to throw away! 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. I bought it figuring on a few thousand pen blanks! I do want those boards you found too! just for the fun of it!

Awesome looking box Fred!
I'm sure the customer will love it.
Woodworking will teach you both patience and how to overcome adversity. The more patient you are, the less adversity you will have to overcome.

Re: spalted maple cull box WIP
That's a great looking "urn", Fred
Love the SM. Much too nice for a cat!
Mine won't look that nice. LOML will probably just put my ashes in a shoe box
