Curly Maple Starburst Urn

Fantastic! I know this is all too time consuming but, with the setup you have, have you ever thought about selling these to funeral homes? I can’t imagine them having anything nicer.

Thanks!

I actually have been asked but my answer has been no. I am still working and I am blessed to make a good living if I were to bill my hourly rate for these they would be very expensive and honestly I do wood working to get away from my day job 🙂

Dang...2 months LOL 

Anywho after finally sourcing some 1/8" MDF (Amazon crafts supplies) I was able to make the back panel sandwich this evening. Shop sawn 1/16" veneer front and back on an 1/8" mdf core.

You can see the rough panel here to the left. I also glued in the tabs that will hold the panel.

Not a perfect 4 way match but other then a few wood workers I should be safe 🙂

I'll let this rest about a week and then do a quick wax buff out, It should really pop.

Oh and I started another one just because I had the veneers cut and ready to go 🙂

I'm hoping by having a couple on hand I won't need any for a while lol
