Join me as I guide you through the entire process of making a beautiful small segmented keepsake urn. From designing and cutting the wood segments to the final turning and finishing touches, learn all the tips and tricks to create a meaningful and elegant piece. Perfect for both beginners and experienced woodturners!
For a special lady who touched the lives of many... a resting place as unique and beautiful as she was.
Today, we're crafting a beautiful small segmented keepsake urn — perfect for preserving cherished memories in a truly unique, handcrafted piece.
We start with carefully selected hardwood segments—each piece cut and arranged to create a stunning pattern once turned. Precision is key here, as every segment must fit perfectly to ensure a smooth, seamless curve.
After gluing, we clamp the segments overnight. This step is critical to guarantee structural strength and an even surface for turning.
With our blank glued and dried, it’s time to mount it on the lathe. The lathe allows us to shape the urn’s elegant curves with precision and control.
Using chisels and gouges, we carefully turn the blank, bringing out the intricate segmented design while forming the classic urn shape—smooth, symmetrical, and graceful.
Once shaped, we sand the urn through multiple grits, ensuring a silky surface that highlights the natural beauty of the woods and the craftsmanship of the pattern.
Finally, we finish with a protective lacquer that enhances the grain and adds a soft sheen. The finished keepsake urn is small yet meaningful—a perfect tribute and a lovely heirloom.
Inside, there’s just enough room to hold treasured ashes, tiny mementos, or personal keepsakes, making it both functional and deeply personal.
Thanks for joining us on this journey from raw wood segments to a beautiful keepsake urn. Handcrafted with care, it’s a timeless piece to honor life’s precious moments.
I'll have another turning out soon. I'm not sure what, but I have to start on the 4 keepsake urns that will accompany this one. So stay tuned, keep creating and always strive for innovation.
