re: Walnut urn

Ron - thank you. As the old hymn says, this world is not my home, I'm just a passing through. The build has been a good project, with time to reflect on many aspects of life.  

Thanks Gary G. Walnut is my favorite so that was an easy decision.

Tony - I think building for someone else will be harder.  Sort of like my dad's flag case - there were so many emotions.  This afternoon I started on my husband's (board prep) and he wants some contrast. Plans are for walnut with a lighter wood for a cross and splines. I'll try to blog about that build. 

Thank you Jim. I liked the idea of making what I wanted. Sounds like you are also a planner.
