Our woodworking methods
In our family studio, we have learned to combine artistry and science. We use new programs that render photos as vector images to translate a memory into an artistic concept that we can then use to design a memorial. The design is then carefully hand carved from wood, first on a lathe or by assembling a box urn, and then meticulously sculpted line by line with the help of technological guides based on that vector image. Our process ensures that each urn is carefully handled to maintain its natural beauty, color, and shape, without exposing the wood keepsake to harsh chemicals or lifeless machine processes. From simple carvings to memorial tributes, our preservation process honors the emotional meaning behind each piece while giving it a new life as timeless décor.
Wood selection
Every pet urn begins with carefully selected hardwood. We personally inspect each board for: beautiful, consistent grain patterns; rich natural coloring; structural integrity (no knots or defects); proper moisture content for stability; sustainable sourcing certification.
Wood Turning
For our traditional urns, we use time-honored lathe techniques passed down through generations of woodworkers. Cedar box urns are constructed with precision joinery. Every piece is shaped, sanded, and finished by hand.
Portrait Carving
Using your photographs, we create detailed relief carvings and hand-finish for organic detail. The result captures your pet's unique features such as the curve of their ears, the expression in their eyes, the personality that made them irreplaceable.
Hand-Applied Finishes
We finish every urn with multiple coats of natural oil, hand-rubbed to bring out the wood's character. This creates a durable, touchable surface with a warm, natural sheen that deepens beautifully over time.
