This top of this large urn is made from a bookmarked piece of Cherry. Main accent on the top is made of bands of Bubinga, Cherry and Leopardwood, separated and defined by strips of Padauk veneer. Wenge dowels are in the intersections of the bands. 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.
