Design Influence

This is unique as the individual handwork and the different wood grain means there is only one on the planet, the bog oak detailing is discrete but it enhances the Urn and literally means the Urn is actually a piece of ancient Ireland! The body of the Urn is made from Oak and is a precision piece, a treat to hold. The corner slips and the side handles are crafted from a 3-5,000-year-old Kells Bog Oak tree, which was unearthed from Seamus's family farm in Kells Co. Meath when the bogland was drained many, many years ago and not far from the land the book of Kells was found. A true work of art, created by hand with a level of care and detail rarely found. This wooden cremation Urn is strong and elegant and securely loads from the base. Seamus creates bespoke keepsakes Urns and full-size urns using his decades of experience and mastery of wood. His Urns highlight the beauty of each piece of wood and the fine workmanship can be seen in the texture of each object taking hours of craftsmanship.

Color

The color of the Irish Bog Oak Urn is enhanced by oiling multiple times to really bring out the natural grain and depth of color and some elements of his work allow him to use a scorched timer or bleached wood to further enhance his creations. A true perfectionist, Seamus insists on taking responsibility for the quality of each Urn piece from tree to its final home.
