The Process
We hand select all of the solid cheery wood for our funeral urns to ensure a consistent grain and color. All of our wood cremation urns feature dovetailed joinery and a hand rubbed finish.
Every detail of our handmade urns is an original creation of Mood Wood, including all of the pewter work. We begin by sculpting the first pieces in clay in order to create a master mold. The first metal parts are created from this mold, and then used in the construction of the production mold. This final production mold used to cast one-of-a-kind pewter fixtures to adorn your wooden cremation urn.
All of the pewter furnishings for the wood cremation urns are trimmed and meticulously filed by hand to eliminate any imperfections and ensure a precise fit. The metal is then oxidized, tumbled, and receives a satin finish to prevent tarnishing.
Unlike traditional memorial urns, our handcrafted cremation urns feature a unique locking mechanism known as a Spanish windlass. This closure system has been utilized for centuries and is able to apply thousands of pounds of force.
