Description
This handmade wooden urn beautifully marries the earthy, intricate texture of Burr Horse Chestnut with the dramatic contrast of a sleek Ebony lid. It is a unique and intimate piece, celebrating a complex life with the natural artistry of wood.
Distinctive Features:
Rare Burr Horse Chestnut Body: The handmade wooden urn body is meticulously turned from Burr Horse Chestnut, showcasing the wood’s highly-prized, chaotic, swirling grain pattern (burl). The warm, light-tan tones and small, dense knots create an organic, textural landscape that is naturally stunning.
Modern Ebony Lid: The dark, flat, or slightly domed lid, crafted from rich Ebony or ebonized wood, provides a contemporary and elegant contrast to the light, figured body.
Artisan Craftsmanship: The urn is hand-turned into a refined, comfortable shape—typically a slightly tapered cylinder or barrel form—that feels substantial and personal.
Secure and Discrete Closure: The Ebony lid is fitted with a threaded insert that twists securely into the urn, ensuring the contents are protected with dignity and peace of mind.
Unique Natural Character: The Burr wood is inherently individual; therefore, the grain patterns, color variations, and natural inclusions make every urn utterly one-of-a-kind
