Cigar Ashtray from Walnut

#ashtray #woodturning #cigar
Turned this ashtray from walnut for those cigar lovers. Has a slate coaster as its base and used an orbital sander to make the grooves.

As a “Professional Cigar smoker” ha ha been doing for more than 30 years now with more than over 35 ashtrays in my collection and just a part time woodworker great looking ashtray. Love the slate as the mixed media just adds the extra pop. Although don’t worry about any fire hazard with cigar ashes and wood ashtrays especially with a hardwood like Walnut. Great job!

Very nice, Rick! I agree, walnut is beautiful wood! I like that design. 👍

Great piece. The shape is eye pleasing and placing a slate coaster, inside it, was a great idea too. Thank you for sharing and stay safe. Keep on turning. Cheers, Bluey 👍

Looks great. I've gotten into making them also. I use a 1" cove bit on my router table. I may add the slate bottom as an option. I like it.

[@woodentreasurestn]

I like the router idea too! Thanks

Good idea for the bottom. Beautiful display and functional piece, but I think if you have a couple of friends with you it might be a little too small as there may not be enough width for more than one cigar at a time.

Thanks you!

Nice work sir. Question: Would this work for cigarettes and marijuana joints or just Cigars? How about blunts, they are kinda like cigars. Thank you.

[@woodentreasurestn]

Not a smoker, so I don’t know. The slate in the base is to snuff out any possibility of burning. Don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

[@gunracksonline]

nice, where did you get the round slate?

[@woodentreasurestn]

Thank you, It's a slate coaster. Got it on Amazon.

[@jasonpermenter7621]

Great video and nice piece, Rick. What are the overall diameter of the ashtray and the diameter of the slate?

[@woodentreasurestn]

Thanks Jason, fun piece to make and they do well at craft shows. A lot of cigar folks out there. The slate is 4” and is a basic slate coaster from Amazon. I’m guessing the overall is around 6”. This one sold last Christmas.
