Ashtrays you have made

[MCT in TN]

I recently read a thread with someone showing the ashtray they had made while waiting for a child to be born. It was a nice ashtray and I did not want to hijack the thread. I recently made one for myself and would like to see what others have come up with. I am a back steps or porch guy and this works good for me. A long channel 5 1/4" for smoking or prelight, and a small 2" channel for letting one graceful go out. Also took my torch and charred the bowl. I would like to see what other folks have come up with.

Nice stuff, I have a couple of ideas other then the tuna fish can I am currently using but I have to track down the materials and get started on it before showing pics. What did you seal the wood with?

I used Minwax Polyshades. It works great. Dump the ashes and rinse it out. I would not use Minwax on a cigarette ashtray but with a cigar it is perfect.

What'd you do the hole with? A forstner bit?

I didn't have one that big. I took a 3 1/2" hole saw in a drill press. After it started in about 1/2" I took the pilot drill bit out of the hole saw then went to the depth. After that just took a router with a straight cutting bit to remove the wood.

It's a piston out of a 1990 7.8l ford diesel. Truck went 468k miles before we rebuilt the motor
