Materials used in Etearnal: Nautical Teak

Etearnal Exclusive: Nautical Teak strikes a perfect balance between two materials, each with its own seafaring significance - carbon fiber and teakwood.

Carbon Fiber: 

Known for its unwavering strength and resilience, carbon fiber stands as a symbol of the enduring power of the sea. This material ensures the ashes of the loved one are cradled securely, much like a sturdy ship on turbulent waters. Its sleek, dark finish mirrors the mystique of the ocean, encapsulating the modernity of their memory.

Teakwood: 

Teakwood is celebrated for its maritime heritage. A favored wood for shipbuilding for centuries, it embodies the essence of sailing, adventure, and discovery. The combination of carbon and teakwood forms a poetic contrast, symbolizing the timeless allure of the open sea and the rugged beauty of nature.

The body of the urn is made from carbon fiber, using our own ACM technology which enables us to make a one piece (monocoque) hollow carbon fiber vessel. The side inserts and name plate are made from teakwood.

"Producing Etearnal: Nautical Teak design proved more challenging than expected. Traditional shipbuilding methods couldn't be directly applied to create urn parts at this micro scale. To ensure a pristine teak surface, we developed a meticulous process that prevents gap closing sealant from penetrating the wood's pores during the production process. Small teak puzzles are fixed to a 3D matrix, protecting them with top-tier teakwood treatment," explains the inventor of Carbon Urns Gašper Ovčak. Read on to learn the whole production process.

How is Etearnal: Nautical Teak made?

The production of Etearnal: Nautical Teak is an ode to craftsmanship inspired by the sea, tailored for those who cherish the boundless allure of water and seek the utmost in glamor and longevity.

It all begins with teakwood boards carefully calibrated to the perfect thickness after undergoing a meticulous drying process. Each board is more than just a material; it's a canvas waiting to become a masterpiece.

Our artisans embark on a manual journey of creation, cutting and shaping each segment of the design with the precision of seasoned shipbuilders. These segments are not just assembled; they are handcrafted to perfection, reflecting the dedication and passion of water lovers who understand the value of timelessness.

To ensure a lifetime as endless as the open sea, we impregnate the backside of the teakwood with a thin epoxy layer. This layer forms an unbreakable bond with the custom-shaped 3D printed matrix, creating a flawless pattern of teakwood that's as resilient as it is beautiful.

Small teak board segments find their place on this 3D printed matrix, and the gaps are seamlessly sealed with a polyurethane-based sealant – a formula specially designed for grouting traditional wooden decks on majestic ships and luxurious yachts. This process is nothing short of an art, and its labor intensity is a testament to the dedication we pour into each creation.

We have spared no effort in developing a meticulous process that prevents sealant from penetrating the porous structure of teakwood. The result? A pristine teak surface that remains free of sealant, delivering a visual appearance that speaks of perfection and refinement.

 

As the assembly, gluing, and grinding process concludes, each insert and nameplate is entrusted to the finest wood protection available, crafted by a renowned German company. This final touch ensures that your Etearnal: Nautical Teak creation is not just a piece of art but a testament to enduring quality, a treasure for water lovers, and an emblem of timeless glamour on the open seas.

Etearnal Exclusive: Nautical Teak invites you to embark on a nautical journey of remembrance, celebrating the strength of the sea and the enduring allure of sailing. Choose this urn to honor your loved one's nautical legacy, ensuring their memory sails on, just as the strength of carbon and the timeless beauty of teakwood have weathered the tides of time.
