Last May Toni and I took the van to Lincolnshire for a visit to Adam and Petra's house for a fun run. I came across a large woodpile and was kindly offered a few log sections to take home.
The body of the urn is spalted horse chestnut from one of the logs with a cap of laburnum and a beech finial from my firewood pile. Finished with Chestnut wax. Right click on the caption for a larger view in Flickr.
(Thanks Adam and Petra!)
