Segmented Wood Urn

This was my first Urn, and it was made with cherry, walnut and Wenge hard woods. The process began with cutting the wood into different widths and lengths based on the needs of the project. The strips were then cut into segments. The feature ring was created. Rings of different segments were then made and ran through a drum sander. Following this the rings were glued together in the appropriate formation making the Urn. there is a total of 360 segments in the making of the urn. Then the fun begins with turning the bowl on the lathe.

I initially intended for the urn to hold 200 cubic inches. After the urn was made, I used rice and filled it up. The formula I used was found on google and it was, “Total cubic inches = (Number of cups) x 14.44 in³Example: If your urn holds 12.5 cups of rice, the volume is (12.5\times 14.44=180.5) cubic inches.” This urn came out to be exactly 12.5 cups of rice. So it can hold 180.5 cubic inches.
