Urns

As our population ages with the baby boomers reaching "old age", more and more people have been talking about wood turned urns. There are wonderful vessels designed to hold the ashes of a loved one!

Once again, we can really design vessels with wonderful shapes, woods and embellishments to make this sacred resting ground!!

		Quick and Easy Threaded Inserts for Urns by Brad Adams
In this project, Brad shows us how he uses ABS plastic threaded inserts on the urns that he turns. By using these plastic threaded pieces, he's able to have a firmly closed top to his urns. Brad's photo's make it easy to understand how to use these easy to find parts for this application!

	Segmented Grecian Urns by the late Bert Woods
In this segmented project, Bert uses staves to create turning blanks. Then he shapes them on the lathe to create his final form. Using staves is not unusual but not common so this project is a good lesson in how to approach this technique.
