Wooden urn

We had a death in the family and I wanted to make an urn for the ashes, before they are scattered.

For material I used birch and heat treated birch. I wanted to make the sides at an angle, and I found a nice calculator for compound miter angles. Sides are only at a 5 degree angle so the bevel is almost 45 degrees. Before I sawed bevels I routed a slot for bottom with my old adjustable jig(in finnish).

For the 5 degree angle I made a jig and tilted the saw blade for bevel.

Top was glued from four pieces, and one piece in the bottom to hold it in place, and cut to size with bottom. Finished with wax.
