Jason Van Duyn, Van Duyn Woodwork: Wooden Cremation Urn
Van Duyn Woodwork in Edenton, North Carolina, has been crafting wooden vessels, unrs, bowls and sculptures since 1949. The cremation urns are handmade, turned primarily of various southern domestic hardwoods. These hardwoods are sourced typically at the end of their life cycle; often the tree has died from disease, advanced age, storm damage, and pests. In many cases various interesting textures, tones, and patterns have developed as a result of those conditions. Each urn is sealed with a hand-threaded finial and is finished with Danish oil.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
