A memorial for your Pet or child.

This pet cremation urn is handcrafted using wood from the mighty Macrocarpa tree. Macrocarpa's natural habitat is limited to the peninsular of Point Lobos near Monterey in Southern California also home of Radiata Pine. Macrocarpa was introduced to New Zealand in the 1860's and was planted mainly as shelter belts but occasionally as plantations. The timber is a low to medium density softwood and has a large amount of heartwood which is a golden brown honey colour. Macrocarpa is a moderately stiff strong timber similar to New Zealand grown Douglas Fir and is one of the most naturally durable exotic softwoods grown in NZ. It is resistant to insects and borer attack in its sawn form. Its heartwood is rated moderately durable. Macrocarpa when dry will accept a variety of paints, oils, two pot resins and varnishes. The nameplate provided can be stuck on the top of the urn or on the side.
