Artist: Phil Irons

Handcrafted by Phil Irons, this wooden cremation urn is made from a remarkable 300-year-old Carpathian elm that once stood in Stonely, Bedfordshire (UK). After the tree was felled, its wood was entrusted to Phil, ensuring its story continued in craft rather than firewood.

During drying, natural fissures appeared and were transformed into a feature through the use of turquoise holographic epoxy, creating striking lines that highlight the elm’s grain. Finished with a durable wax oil requiring minimal care, the urn is both tactile and enduring. A hand-cut English boxwood lid provides a secure closure, completing this one-of-a-kind urn for ashes, a tribute to longevity and preservation.

Phil Irons

Phil Irons, an Australian-born woodturner, discovered his passion at thirteen using his father’s antique lathe. After a career in the travel industry, he returned to woodworking full-time in 1994. His deep understanding of English timberstems from years working as a tree surgeon. Phil’s bestselling book Woodturning: Two in One showcases his signature style: elegant vessels and hollow forms, often enhanced with subtle dyes and natural grain features. By adding precision-threaded lids, these pieces become handmade wooden cremation urns sought after worldwide.

Creating artisan memorial urns for ashes gives Phil a profound sense of purpose, blending functional art with deep emotional meaning. He is a past president of the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain and a member of the American Association of Woodturners.
