This handcrafted cigar ashtray is made from spalted red oak, showcasing dramatic, natural black linework created by the early stages of spalting. The wood’s warm reddish-brown tones are interwoven with intricate, organic patterns that make each piece completely unique, almost like natural ink flowing through the grain. The live edge is preserved, adding a rugged, organic frame that emphasizes the wood’s raw beauty.
At the center sits a polished copper strike plate, inlaid flush into the surface. Its warm metallic glow contrasts strikingly with the darker veining of the spalted oak, while providing a durable, heat-resistant surface for safely extinguishing cigars. Over time, the copper will develop a soft patina, further enhancing the piece’s character and depth.
A carved cigar rest is integrated into the design, offering a secure and comfortable place for a single cigar. The combination of live-edge wood, expressive spalting, and refined copper detail creates a functional yet sculptural ashtray that feels both rustic and elevated—perfect for a desk, study, or lounge setting.
