Memorial Urn

Honoring my grandparents with the very best work I could do

About this project

When my grandfather passed away, my grandma invested in me and my woodworking and asked for me to build his urn. I built something with the beginner skills I had, I worked so hard on it, but I knew I could do better.

When my grandma passed away this past summer, I knew I wanted to put my improved skills to work. So many tears were spilled building this, but I could just feel my grandparents pride in me.

They gave me so much in life, this was the very, very least I could do for them in death.

Onward and upward.
