Pet Cremation Box

[Ken Massingale]

The daughters cherished Brandi had to be put down recently and she asked me to make a simple box for the ashes.
Sorry about the pics, I'm giving up taking decent shots of small objects with my camera.
The box is Purpleheart with Padauk cornerpost dovetails, a Padauk bookmatch panel in the lid and Padauk wooden hinges. All of the joinery was done with an Incra Ultra. The finish is 3 light coats of Waterlox Satin buffed with 0000 wool between coats and buffed with a piece of brown paper after the final coat. Then a coat of Ren wax.
We had a laser engraving of Brandi done at a local trophy shop.
Thanks for having a look.

Like Pappy said, beautiful box, but i hate reason you had to make it.

The reason for the build is not good (Sorry)...

...But it came out great.

An honorable effort for an honored part of her family.

Yep, incra all the way, and well done. Never good to lose a pet, but you honor the memory with that piece.
