comp56 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 This past July I lost my father to cancer, it was his wish that I make him his urn. He was an avid clock collector so it was only fitting I build a clock into his urn. I chose Paduak for wood also known as vermillion. Here is the build: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 had to make a seamless joint for the top as I could only get the wood in less than 7" width. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 That is really awesome work Comp56. I can't even imagine what your going through. Hopefully thing will get you trough the pain. My my pointer passed I had her cremated I want to make a nice display for her I'm not sure what I want to do though. Never having a father makes it hared for me to relate to things like this. That is an amazing tribute to your dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
