This urn is made from Dark Roasted Curly Maple. The accents on the top are provided by bands of Bubinga and Roasted Bird's Eye Maple, 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 Osmo TopOil, an odourless hardwax-oil wood finish.  The resultant finish is smooth, durable, and appealing.
