The sides of this urn are made from Bird's Eye Maple. The top is made from a bookmarked piece of Bird's Eye Maple. The accents on the top are provided by bands of Roasted Maple and Zebrawood, separated and defined by black veneer.

Except for black veneer, no stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the finished woods.

Interior and exterior are finished with an Osmo microporous wood oil. The resultant low-lustre finish is smooth, durable, and appealing.

Internal dimensions are about 9.5" x 7.5" x 3.0" (24.1 x 19.1 x 7.6 cm).
