never thought about it but why not

do wonder why they open from the bottom maybe to prevent them from being opened and spilling out i would guess bottom opening makes it hard to use for anything but ashes



When a revered member of the local turning community died, another turned an urn for his ashes out of Manitoba Maple/Box Elder burl. Given notice,I suppose we could all turn our own.

A sealed container... e.g. glue. Also the top is beautiful without any openings that might swell in life and such.

Mart> never thought about it but why not

once you are born you are given notice

the hard part is wood choice

it is nice but i think it could be a little more ornate so as not to confuse it with a bickie barrel

Good reason to be opened only from the bottom.
