Oak Iti Urns
A memorial for your Pet.
This pet urn is handcrafted using wood from the beautiful Oak tree. The oaks
red and white are the most abundant US hardwood species. It would be difficult
to name one with a longer and more illustrious history in furnishings and
interior design. It was a favourite of early English craftsmen and a prized
material for American colonists. White oak is just one of 86 species, native
to this country but it is the classic oak of America. Although prevalent
throughout the eastern half of the United States, from Maine to Texas, this
lumber comes chiefly from the South, South Atlantic and central states
including the Southern Appalachians. The white variety ranges from nearly
white sapwood to a darker grey brown heartwood, the grain is distinguished by
rays which reflect light and add to its attractiveness. Depending on the way
the logs are sawn many distinctive and sought after patterns emerge. It is
heavy, very strong and very hard, stiff, and durable under exposure and can be
stained beautifully with a wide range of finishes. The nameplate provided can
be stuck on the top of the urn or on the side.
