Rosewood Cigar Ashtray - Hand Turned in Cuba
This hand turned ash tray was hand turned from local Rosewood.
Exotic Rosewood Turned Ashtray is around 2 3/4" tall by close to 7" in diameter. The wood was collected while stationed in the Caribbean on base in the "Pearl of the Antilles". Finished with sweet almond oil. The ashtray was designed for cigars, but could be used for cigarettes as well. This would also be a great bowl for guacamole or other dips. Could also be used for keys, jewelry, candy, etc. A very versatile piece.
All items are made in the USA and are hand turned or hand made in my shop in Florida, or in my portable shop used while traveling. Each piece of wood is kept as original as possible and every natural "flaw" is kept as is, protected, and sometimes accentuated. I prefer the woods natural beauty speak for itself. As such, no two pieces will ever be made the same.
All wood products need to be treated with any kitchen oil or a wood wax to protect the wood and keep it water proof. After exposure to water, thoroughly air dry the wood, cover with a kitchen oil (we use sweet almond oil), and allow to soak in. When the bowl begins looking dry a good coating of a wood wax or wood butter will help moisturize the wood and keep it water proof.
