John, people will be ticked at me for saying so, but your
work should be priced so much higher. The craftsmanship and originality demand
proper compensation. My husband's ashes sit in this beautiful urn and instead
of being ignored or worse, avoided on a shelf, it has become a focal point of
conversation, memory, both happiness and sadness, and ultimately love. Its
undulating shape evokes a sense of life, of flow, and of the motion of the
natural world. The seamwork is nearly flawless and I am grateful that you've
decided to pursue this amazing talent. It helps everyone who visits more easily
acknowledge and honor my husband's legacy and life.

Beautiful piece of sculpted art that functions as an urn. I
had been looking for many months for a unique, high quality urn without finding
anything that I felt was suitable for my needs. I'm very glad to have this urn.

The instant we became aware of John's exceptional talent,
our connection with John and Heidi began. John warmly welcomed our questions,
described his process and discussed the characteristics of various woods we
were considering for our companion urn. As Heidi had so kindly assured us, our
urn arrived when promised, in meticulous condition. Surpassing our highest
expectations, the elegance and harmony of John's uniquely beautiful,
exquisitely finished, environmentally friendly creation took our breath away.
We are eternally grateful for the blessing of John and Heidi, and for this most
personal, precious work of art.

I am a returning customer, and once again, my family is very
pleased by John's work. This is an exquisite piece, which has been finished
beautifully to bring out all of the special characteristics of the wood;
stunningly hand-crafted art that easily shows the care taken in making it. It
helps so much at such a sad time to have something as special as this when the
need arose. It was also carefully packed and shipped quickly. Thank you once
again John, and I recommend your work to everyone who asks about them in our
home.

I am so pleased with this beautiful work of art. Our aunt
would have so appreciated the craftsmanship of this. We have another vessel
from John and this is very different, but equally beautiful. It arrived so
quickly and in perfect condition. Thank you!!!

Absolutely beautiful! The picture doesn't do the depth and
richness of the color justice. This is so beautifully made with such obvious
care. The wood is gorgeous and incredibly heavy. Super communication from John.
My family is so pleased with this, it has helped ease some of the loss, having
such a beautiful urn. Thank you so much!!
