This Poplar tree we rescued after lightning struck it. The tree became a hazard to the homeowner and a prize for Artistic Urns. We call it “Rainbow Poplar” for good reason, and the homeowner confirmed our belief that the rainbow of colors results from lightning strikes.

This is a Collector’s Edition keepsake urn. Born from a single piece of wood, this started as a block of green wood and has been transformed into a Work of Art. This piece has the exact same design and build process as Artistic Urns original Signature Series - the only difference is there is more “Wow!” in the wood character.

A keepsake urn is any piece that measures less than full size in terms of internal capacity. Popular if the wishes are to scatter a portion and keep the rest, or when dividing the remains among different family members. Many families obtain a keepsake as a memorial for the home to remember their loved one after the remains have been interred or scattered.

The Collector’s Edition for When Ordinary Won’t Do!

This urn is turned from the poplar tree, but is what folklore call Rainbow Poplar wood. The Poplar is taller than any other U.S. species reaching heights of 160 feet. It grows abundantly throughout the Eastern United States and is commonly used for its qualities as a utility hardwood. The rainbow poplar gets its name from the brilliant unusual colors created by natural mineral deposits in the wood. Legend has it that many poplars struck by lightning exhibit the colors of the rainbow.
