I have been asked to turn an urn for the spouse of a coworker. I plan on using a threaded brass insert for the lid, and am wondering what the impact of wood movement if using this method. I live in SW Colorado which is very dry, and if the urn was to be relocated to a more humid climate would this cause the urn to crack around the insert? This is the first urn that I have done so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Anything else I should be aware of or take into consideration?
Thanks,
Greg
