Wigeon urn

[Don Mintz]

I was contacted about making a decorative urn for a friend a few months ago. I finally got it finished up this morning. the ashes will be contained in the base.

Beautiful bird. That makes a great urn.

Thanks, I just delivered that one today to a friend who sold a black lab pup to my son. The pup is from the male that our friend lost last summer. The breeder was able to breed the lab she lost one more time before he passed. My wife used to work with this lady at Cabelas a decade ago.

I'm made lots of urns over the years, some hunt able floater decoys, some shelf sitters, some full body standing decoys like this wigeon and some what I call a full body floater, using the ashes for the keel weight. Here are a few of those.

A shelf sitter canvasback urn


full body floater mallard and hooded merganser. the ashes were in the bottom 1/4th of the decoy.

life size blue winged teal urn. ashes in the box
