Handcrafted Minimalist Birch Cremation Urn with Gold Leaf Details

I present to you this minimalist birch cremation urn with gold leaf details, offering a beautiful and unique way to say a final farewell.
 
This urn, with its gentle and luminous character, is distinguished by the natural fissure on the front and side face, subtly adorned with a touch of gold leaf. This artistic gesture is inspired by my personal interpretation of the Japanese technique known as kintsugi. Traditionally used to repair broken pottery with gold, kintsugi embraces flaws and treats them as part of the object's story. In the same spirit, I highlight the natural imperfections in the wood with gold leaf accents—revealing, rather than hiding them. These delicate golden points evoke the inner light that can arise from imperfection and the traces left by a lived life.
 
For the gold accents, I use imitation gold leaf made of brass (a mix of copper and zinc), reflecting my commitment to ethical sourcing of materials I choose.
 
The urn is finished by hand using several coats of eco-friendly, high-quality oil that protects the wood while giving it a soft satin sheen. The interior receives an additional layer of beeswax, creating a smooth and gentle surface to respectfully hold your loved one’s ashes.
 
Exterior Dimensions: 6 3/4” wide x 6 3/4” deep x 8 3/8” high
Capacity for Ashes: 210 cubic inches
