This urn design makes it easy to scatter a loved one’s remains. In this example, the case is made with solid oak; the top and inlay bands that wrap the urn are Sapele, a distinctive African species. Other species can be chosen. The top slides open to reveal the interior of the case, the floor of which is leather-lined, giving the urn a future as a memory chest. When closed, the top is secured with a concealed magnetic closure. Mitered corners are perfectly grain-matched so that the natural grain pattern flows from one face to the next. The urn is finished in natural Danish oil and a clear water-based top coat. No colored stains are used.
