Masur birch urn for Cody, the shop dog...


Our friend Mike Wells of Tassajara Designs recently had this beautiful masur birch urn made to commemorate his late Cairn terrier, Cody.

Mike's friend Phil Stivers did all the turning including the threaded Ebony cap.

As many of you probably know, Tassajara Designs used to be located right next to our warehouse for several years. On more than one occasion we can remember Cody sneaking into our shop and finding him hiding in the back, usually covered in sawdust and tucked neatly in between our pallets of cocobolo.

Cody was a perfect example of why every decent woodshop needs good shop dog.

We think this beautifully turned urn is a perfect way for Mike to remember his loyal companion of over 16 years.

Thanks for the pictures Mike.
