Charley Lent met with NCWWer kclark, (Kevin), who is a funeral director. He graciously gave us both a cardboard box, and a plastic box, that are used for cremains. Having these boxes has now allowed us to come up with a standard set of dimensions. After lots of discussions with Skymaster (Jack), using all 3/4" lumber for the urn, it has been decided to make the top and bottom panels the same size, 12"× 10". The sides can vary from 5 1/2" to 6" in width, with front and back panels 11" long. The 2 side panels 9" long. So, here's the cut list.
Top and bottom panels................3/4" × 10" × 12"
Front and back panels..................3/4" × 5 1/2" - 6" × 11"
2 side panels..................................3/4" × 5 1/2" - 6" × 9"
It is suggested to fasten the bottom with 3 screws to insure orientation.
Any suitable lumber can be used. An exterior finish is suggested.
An insignia for branch of service is to be glued to the front panel of the urn, and the NCWW logo to the bottom. These are 3" in diameter, and 1/4" thick. It will be necessary to countersink a 1/4" deep hole with a 3" Forstner bit. Skymaster and I each have one, and we can do this operation if you don't have the equipment.
The top and bottom panels should have a decorative edge, such as an ogee, bead and ogee, or whatever router bit you have.
Any type of miter joint is ok, whatever you are comfortable with.
I hope I have made this clear enough, but mind isn't what it used to be.
Thank you all for pitching in.
