Beautiful urn, Barb! I’m with Splint—that perfectly centered lid stands out and clearly demonstrates you know what you’re doing. I saw in your blog that you use space balls (cut in half) on the short sides to keep the lid centered. Is there any reason you don’t use them on the long sides too? Are these just unnecessary there?

The new photo of the tray shows how nice it looks. Positioning the tray so the light isn’t mostly bouncing right back into the lens makes a huge difference.

I think it’s good that you’re building these urns ahead of time. I bet that’s still tough, but I can’t imagine how difficult would be after the fact.
