Mahogany and maple cigar ash trays. Everything was done on a tablesaw, including the circular shape of the ash tray, as well as the bowl cut. Used a cross cut sled to cut the edges, then made a jig to rotate the piece over the saw blade to get the concave shape on the inside. It was the first time trying this technique and wasn't sure how it would work out, but I couldn't believe how easy it was and how well it worked.I used my drill press to spin the ash tray while I held sandpaper against it to get a smooth and even surface....and if you don't drill holes for the cigar holder, they make nice candy dishes!
