Our Signature Black Walnut Cremation urns are built with quality materials that have been used in fine furniture and by woodworkers for years. We use stable, beautiful Black Walnut lumber. Walnut provides beautiful, luxurious wood colors ranging from dark to light browns with some grain marbling within the grain structure providing deep beauty that remains timeless. Wood is sourced primarily in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Beautifully created, fine craftmanship. My husband was a woodworker, among other arts, so when I looked for a casket to hold his ashes, I wanted something handmade that I thought he would appreciate. This is exactly what I was looking for. Shipping was immediate and it was packed with care.

When Donna, my wife of 41 years passed away finding an urn was very difficult and emotional for me. The urn had to be something special…something unique with a personal touch. I finally found that personal touch in John Church at MapleNail. I cannot thank him enough for his compassion and kind words. He was very prompt in responding to me and kept me updated. He went out of his way to fulfill my request to add a plate with personal engraving. The urn is beautiful! The wood and finish are so nice. The splines on the corners add strength and beauty to the urn. The quality extends to the bottom of the urn. John also includes a plastic box for the cremains that is a perfect fit for the urn. He shipped it out to me quickly and the packaging was amazing. Inside I found a handwritten note. Thank you again John!

John made us the most beautiful urn/box for my fathers ashes. The quality of the wood and the workmanship showed such attention to detail and my dad would have loved the box as much as we do. That is why we purchased this particular one and we are so very pleased we did. The box came with a pretty big scratch that none of us could figure out how it got there. We contacted John and he quickly sent out a new label and paid for the return shipping, fixed it and shipped it back all in just a few days. Thank you John for your excellent customer service and for standing behind you beautiful, high quality product. We would highly recommend this seller.

The urn is beautifully-made and, more than anything, we are so appreciative of the wonderful customer service. We wrote to the shop asking if they could guarantee that the urn could arrive very quickly. They were responsive, clear, and got the urn to us quicker than we imagined possible. At a difficult time in our life, we appreciated how smooth and easy they made it for us to get a beautifully-crafted urn last minute, and how much their communication with us was focused on giving us peace of mind that the urn would arrive in time. Thankful for craftsman like this!

John did an amazing job on my dad’s urn! It was crafted with care, John was incredibly helpful and professional throughout our interactions, responded quickly to make the process as easy as possible, and worked closely with my mom and I to make sure the finished product would be exactly what we were looking for. He certainly didn’t disappoint, and the urn came out absolutely beautiful! Shipping was quick, the urn was well insulated to protect it during shipping and everything arrived in perfect condition. I’m so glad we found Maple Nail and that our visions for my dad’s customized urn were able to be realized. I would definitely recommend Maple Nail to anyone looking for a well crafted, personalized, affordable way to memorialize their loved one and am planning on utilizing their services again for my mom’s and childhood dog’s ashes as well. Thank you for everything, John!
