MAHOGANY URN

In 2005, I received an email from a friends brother asking me if I could make an urn for his fathers remains.  In the email, he included a digital photo of a tattoo on his leg that he got in memory of his father.  He asked me if I could carve the image of the tattoo on the front of the urn.  For his entire life he was known as POPCORN.  He was nicknamed at early childhood by his mother because he would always pop out of the carriage or baby seat.  I was told his closest friends didn't even know his first name! By the way it was William E. Taylor.    

Mahogany wood was used for the box construction

Walnut wood was used for the interior liner and the top personalized lid
