That was very nice of them. All I got was the bill and his ashes in a box after I mailed them a check.

I did it because I had my dad's ashes. Both boxes sat on my dresser in my bedroom for a few years. It made for a great conversation piece when ladies came to visit.

so i go on Amazon this AM to order a small brass nameplate with his name and birth and death dates. $16 shipped. ok.

get a confirmation email from Amazon at 9:17am, and then a shipping confirmation from the seller at 9:56am. 39 minutes from order to shipment. that has got to be a record of some sort.

maybe i'll get it before the weekend.

We bought beautiful Mahogany boxes for my wife's cousins,I don't remember the cost but inside sat the plastic box the ashes were in and in the underside of the lid was a nice wood frame to slide a picture of the person....was a nice touch I thought.

actually that's exactly what i did yesterday.

they didn't have much, but enough for this small project.

the next place that has hardwood is down in Albuquerque, an hour's drive each way. it may cost a little more for the lumber, but that's offset by the gas not used and time not spent.

they only had a few long boards of 1x6 (no 1x8), but had a bunch of 1x6 cut to 2 foot lengths, so i go digging in that bin and find 4 pieces from the same board (later matched up the grain). so that will work and let me run the grain around the corners for a very cool look. found another highly figured piece that i recut for the top insert, has a nice flame look to it.

if i was doing a larger project, i'd be heading down to ABQ.

they had some really nice Zebra wood when i was down there last. $25/BF. how much would you like?!

Well, dead ones, of course.
