re: Urn for my husband

Awsum55 -thank you!  The general dimensions were determined by the size of a typical plastic temporary urn (the plastic bag with ashes are typically placed in this for return to the family).  My husband liked having a contrast, plus wanted to have the cross.  I pulled out various options of wood with lighter colors and we decided on the maple. Ended up being a nice contrast with the walnut once the finish was applied.
