Large Planturn in California Alder & Sweetgum

This handcrafted cremation urn is a fusion of modern design and natural artistry, offering a distinctive and meaningful tribute. Made from rescued California Sweetgum (top) and rescued California Alder (bottom), it features a striking geometric form that feels both sculptural and timeless.

The California Sweetgum top has an otherworldly beauty—its swirling grain and rich hues evoke the surface of a distant planet. Its natural variations create a sense of movement. Below, the California Alder base provides a grounding contrast with its deep, warm tones and smooth, even grain, offering a solid foundation to the ethereal patterns above. Together, these two woods complement each other perfectly, creating a seamless transition from light to dark, from intricate to serene—just as memory bridges the past and present.

Designed with intention, the urn’s top lifts to reveal a discreet compartment for ashes. A living element can be added by placing a small plant or keepsake on top, symbolizing remembrance and renewal.

Each urn is one of a kind, shaped by nature and carefully crafted in California using sustainably sourced urban lumber.
