Thanks Splintergroup! This slab added a few more steps to produce the "board" but ended up being very nice in the end.
Steve - thanks! The tray is much prettier in person than the picture shows. Having the mitered pieces left from the urn - I thought of a frame, but then with the resawn board, decided a tray would be better.
Ron - thanks!
Pottz - thank you! Hope to get it to her this week.
Jim - thanks! I like the design but I think the next one may have a more vertical design. Still like to have it so the temporary plastic "urn" will slip inside.
Jeff - thank you! I'm a big fan of walnut and was glad my friend agreed.
