The “Spiral Crater” Ashtray

$595.00

- Not available currently

🧠 Concept:

A sunken spiral ashtray carved directly into a thick walnut end grain block — like a geological crater or topographic map, merging nature and masculinity in one sculptural object. Each groove serves both aesthetic and functional purpose.

🪵 Material:

  • Solid 3" thick walnut end grain block

  • Rich, swirling grain patterns from the end grain become accentuated by the depth of the spiral cuts.

  • The board is oiled to a silky matte finish, deepening the contrast in tones from espresso to golden brown.

🌀 Design Details:

  • Central bowl is wide and gently concave, with a spiraling groove that deepens toward the center, like a whirlpool.

  • Brass cigar rests are inlaid into the spiral at three points — asymmetrical placement gives it modern flair.

  • A discreet draw at the center has a small removable brass-lined insert for easy ash disposal.

  • Optional: LED backlighting embedded beneath an undercut, giving it a soft underglow on a shelf or bar.

Materials & Craftsmanship
Each piece is made from solid walnut, and no two boards share the same grain, color, or character. Variations in tone, figure, and engraving depth are natural and expected. Laser engraving on walnut is as much art as science, and the organic structure of the wood can produce beautifully unpredictable results. These variations are not defects, but part of what makes each piece one of a kind.
