What you need to know about Vintage-Wood Urns

Each urn is thoughtfully handcrafted using precise box-joint construction, offering lasting strength and timeless elegance. Designed for discreet and secure closure, the urn opens from the bottom with four small screws. Crafted from solid hardwoods or solid wood adorned with fine veneers, the center panels are made from ¾-inch or ½-inch wood, sometimes accented with specialty veneers to enhance their natural beauty. A range of finishes is available, from smooth Satin and radiant High Gloss to hand-rubbed oil finishes, each chosen to complement the wood's grain and character. Woods often include Oak, Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Ash, Poplar, and Pine, as well as distinctive figured and burled veneers. Sizes vary to suit different needs, with capacities from 40 to over 200 cubic inches. Companion urns, unique one-of-a-kind sizes, and fully custom commissions are also available, ensuring each piece honors a life with the dignity it deserves.

Handcrafted in Vintage Class

Vintage-Wood Urns are handmade using antique home,
church and school Pianos from the island of Newfoundland. This day and age, it
is uneconomical to return these relics to their former glory, and they are
headed to the landfills faster than they can be saved. In the case of a very
few pianos, they live on as Urns available on this website, to be used as a
lasting memorial for a loved one’s cremains. Piano woods in the early 19th
and 20th centuries were considered the highest-grade lumber, free of
imperfections, rare, prized and in some cases today, extinct. These same woods
provide the unique foundation to offer these custom Vintage-Wood Urns.
