Sent out a beautiful crematory urn today, Poplar wood aged to a wonderful golden hue, finish like a mirror, 6 coats of poly each rubbed out and two coats of wax. Jewelry box top with brass fittings that shown like gold and looked wonderful with the hue of the poplar, green lining in the top that set off the wood perfectly. One of the best I have ever made. Wish I could have thrown it against the wall and smashed it to hell! rather then ship it. Brother in law will be buried in it Saturday. I know they wish to show me honer by asking me to make them but they are the hardest things to make I have ever done in my life, They hurt twice once when I make them and once when I ship them out. I wouldn't not make them for anything. Thanks for letting me vent.
