This urn gets its name from the highly polished agate stones from Lake Superior that accent the top. In this photo, the case of the urn is made of solid maple; the top and inlay bands that wrap the case are beautifully grained cherry. Other domestic species can be used if desired. Corners are precisely mitered, allowing the wood’s distinctive grain pattern to continuously wrap around three of the corners. The interior of the case is accessed by removing the brass screws that secure the base. The piece is finished in natural Danish oil to bring out the natural grain and luster of the wood. (No colored stains are used.) Finally, several coats of water-based top coat are applied for protection.

Approx. dimensions: 10” wide, 7.125” deep, 6” tall.
