A Box for Ashes and Other Funerary Items

[danmosheim]

We lost two friends last Monday, which put me in a 'pause and reflect' mode for most of the week and weekend. I made a box for the ashes of one of the friends and I have written two blog posts about it, one about life, and death, and one about the step by step making of the dovetailed box ....
Check them out if you have a minute ...

Thanks for a very interesting post/blog entry. Your reflections on the deaths of your friends certainly gave me pause for thought.

I've occasionally been asked to make this sort of stuff in the past. As you say, it makes you pause and reflect. Interesting post - thanks for posting.

Cheers :wink:
