About 6 years ago I was given an eastern white pine saw log at about 36" diameter x 12 feet long so I milled it into one 8 x 8,several 6x 6 and miscellaneous odd pieces. The 8x 8 was turned into 2 barber poles and the 6x6's were in storage until this past summer, when I extended the deck on my home and built a 3 season porch using 6x 6's for the corners. The scraps from the 6x6's were too good to just burn so I took some to our last meeting of the "MN Lakes Woodturners" and they went right away. I then decided that I should try to make something out of it myself so I settled on a keep sake urn and all of the cremation urns I make have threaded lids. The female thread on this one is 1.75"-8 and was reinforced with CA.
