Serial 21117 Model KWLC0406050 Keepsake Cremation Urn

Nice work Don. I'm curious about the cryptic name. Sounds like a name for a car part. Are the threads cut by a jig or hand chased?

I am assuming that you are referring to "Model KWLC0406050" K=keepsake, W=walnut, L=lacquer, C=threaded lid contrasting wood, 04=4" (100mm) diameter,06=overall height and 050=internal volume in cubic inches. The threads are machine cut on a metal lathe, which I have an adapter to mount a 1 1/4" - 8 scroll chuck to hold the work piece on the metal lathe. The threads are cut with a small router mounted to the cross slide. The process is much the same as cutting threads in metal except for the addition of the router.
