This urn is made from Purpleheart, a premium hardwood native to Central and South America. It is a dense and durable hardwood known for its striking purple coloration, which darkens to a deeper violet-brown over time. The bookmarked centre panel on the top is framed with bands of Purpleheart, separated and defined by Maple veneer.

No stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the finished woods.

Interior and exterior are finished with an Osmo microporous wood oil. The resultant low-lustre finish is smooth, durable, and appealing.
