Was I the only one who noticed that the Popes casket was made of Pine and
had Dovetailed corners?

I wonder who made it?

As I like to tell my wife sometimes: "I can make that".

It was not pine, but cypress.

Actually he was put in a Cypress casket, that was put in a Lead casket and
finally those were put in an Elm casket. The Elm being the outer of the 3.

I guess the material depends on the news network.

cypress is a constant

Second layer is either lead or zinc, or just a lining of the outer casket.

Outer casket is either Walnut, Oak, or Elm. It may or may not be lined with
the above metal.

Hopefully zinc... lead wouldn't be too healthy.

I don't think the Pope has to worry about his health much anymore.

Don't tell fishermen that... They've been using lead for decades...

I believe over the last few years lead for fishing has been
transitioning over to some other conglomeration of metals. There was
concern over personal safety - how many adults and kids bite down on the
split shot to fix it to the line? - as well as wildlife ingestion... as
I recall those were the reasons.

Well, centuries. But, besides, it's not going to hurt the pope any.
Lead caskets have been in use since at least Roman times.

Howdy,

According to many news reports:

Cypress -- Zinc -- Walnut.

All the best,

I've also seen:

Cypress-- Zinc -- Pine, or Pine -- Zinc -- Cypress.

How many news reporters are able to identify woods by sight? To me it
looked like it could be either oak or pine, but almost certainly not
walnut.

Your guess is as good as mine at this point.

Local artisans, I guess. I'll bet the Vatican is a big enough
organisation to have a few on the staff.

According to the TV I watched, it was Cypress. Doesn't matter, it
won't be burnt!

I thought the same thing. Must have been an awesome feeling to be
making that particular box. Would love to find out more.

According to the Ass Press. The inner is Cypress, second is zinc and the
outer Walnut.
These are supposed to slow down the decomp process.

I just don't understand why they didn't hook his meat up to life support
and keep him from rotting for twelve years or so, like he insisted happen
to Schiavo. Doesn't matter if you're braindead, gotta preserve the meat.

He was on a feeding tube as was Schiavo. Schiavo wasn't on any other
life support, and her organs weren't failing. IOW, she wasn't dying.
