    Another segmented Ashtray

    This one is made of Shedua, Quilted Maple and Blood Wood. It has 96 pieces. Even though They are ashtrays, I don't think anyone has ashed in one yet.

    That looks like it would go great in an advertisement for a 20 year old bourbon; a Hugh Heffner type in a robe by the fireplace in an elegantly wood paneled man-den, sipping a neat bourbon and enjoying a $50 cigar.

    Beautiful work, Bill!!!

    Spectacular work as usual Bill. How do you make the holder grooves in the top rim? I know that isn't the right term, I just can't think of a better one.

    Very nice work again Bill! Love the design! Reminds me of looking into a kaleidoscope! Great wood color combination!

    I was just thinking what Nathan posted.

    A knob Creek burbon on the rocks and an Arturo Fuente cigar.

    Very nice.

    very nice piece Bill. Love your work! Hope one day to own a piece,as well as match your skills.
    Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

    Thank you all very much. Tyler, you are every bit as good as me or better. Why don't we trade a piece some time?
