Thanks guys. Nothing I’ve thought about making.
Upon hearing their story, I felt compelled to take it on. Their story…An older couple (I don’t know) lost their golden doodle and after collecting the remains they didn’t want to go home to their empty house, so they went to State street in Bristol to have their favorite sushi and several adult beverages. After finishing, still not feeling to go home they strolled down the street and ended walking into the gallery. As they told me later, after looking at some of our work, they decided to call and ask me to make something, that wasn’t like the “surely Chinese junk” the crematory offered.
They have some left over oak they used when they built their house in 1982 and asked if I could use that. Seeing that we did laser engraving, they asked for, “a yet to be determined” engraving.
This fellow, a dentist in his twilight (his words) told me he had a lot of old friends with old dogs that he could surely send my way. I told him, “why don’t we get yours done”.
Pottz, I suppose an urn for a pet is one thing ( and I do think more of my dog than I do of many people) but I can’t imagine the emotions doing one for a person I knew.
