Wood box help..

Post by jmh58 »

I am looking for some one who could make me a small wood box about the size of a cigar box.. My kitty died last week and we had her cremated and got the ashes back in a velvet bag.. I would like to bury her but dont want to bury only the bag.. THANKS.. John :D

John, sorry to hear of the loss of your kitty. If you have a cigar shop in your area, they usually have piles of wooden cigar boxes available for free, or sometimes they simply ask for a small donation to some charitable cause. Most are really nice.

John, I am sorry to hear about Sophie... I could probably make you a plain box if you still need one?

Sorry about your kitty... :(

I know there a few fine woodworkers on this site. FRJ (Joe) is quite talented, but I wouldn't want to speak for him. There was also another member who was doing some amazing things with an old radio cabinet.

If I didn't have a knife project backup in my shop, I would try to make something for you.

Don't know if that helps at all...

That's tough John. We had a little money cat (Patches) about twice Sophie's age, she got a tumor in her mouth and we had to put her down. Broke my heart, haven't had another pet since... ::tear::

I have never turned an urn, but I am willing to give it a try, if you stillneed one.

Very sorry about the loss of your pet cat - I had to have our pet cat, Oscar, put down a month ago and it sure does hurt. OH
