A Pair of Cat Urns

[eajhnsn1]

I've only recently started using a hollowing tool, but have had this project in mind for the past year. I finally gave it a shot.

Two maple urns for our cats. The grey one was dyed with General Finishes TransTint (black, heavily diluted). The other one dyed with india ink. Lacquer applied on both of them. Both have an ebony nose (leather whiskers); the black cat's eyes are lignum vitae whereas the grey's are dyed maple.

They're between 11 and 12" tall.

Great looking cats! I've made a couple of those style cats, but never occurred to me that they could be hollowed and used as urns.

A wonderful way to honor and remember your cats.
