The burl is the "heart" of the project. Because burl wood has erratic grain patterns and potential inclusions, it requires a sharp eye and even sharper tools. The stand and lid provides the "architecture" for the Urn. Walnut is chosen here for its stability and deep, chocolate tones which contrast the creamy, figured maple.

Hi my name is Carl Jacobson,
I started woodworking with my grandfather as a young boy. I continued woodworking through high school, and started woodturning after seeing a turned project in a friends shop. Some of my fondest memories are working with my grandfather in his wood shop. Being able to share our passion for woodworking, ties it all together. We also do a lot of epoxy projects as well as woodturning.
