Skull Ashtray carved using the

The ashtray was carved out of sapele which looks great with a oil finish. For the roughing and profile cut I used a 1/4 end mill down cut. The 3d toolpath I used an Amana bit #46282-K Tapered Ball Nose - 5.4 Deg Tip 0.0625, 0.25 inches. Then I finished it was tung oil, enjoy!

Too nice of a design to use for ashtray.

I think you might be on to something. Might not be too difficult to modify the file to get rid of the bowl and make it into some decorative piece

Thank you for the kind words! You will love your CnC!

You could cut a piece of glass and put it in the bottom to preserve the carve. Pop the glass out to clean it dry put back in

Funny you say that. I’ve been thinking the same thing for these ashtrays so the graphic can still been seen. Thanks for the confirmation!

@@encarwoodworking just have to grind the edges a little. Should make them for cigars, just a wider groove.

@Mr.Peabody961 I can’t agree more, especially since I’m a cigar guy. But I purchased this file on Etsy and left it as is.
