Bulldog Cigar Ashtray

[brad]

I am calling it done on the Bulldog (homage to Winston Churchill) cigar ashtray or trinket tray.  The texturing a fine grain with a 1/4” chasing tool proved rather difficult.  I gave it a vintage-look patina. Then steel wooled tray to highlight.  No wax or lacquer finish, as I want copper to age naturally.  Besides, if it is used for an ashtray, the fumes might be hazardous.  Full dimensions about 6”x6”.  Brad

Ha! So cool, Brad!

Thank you. The bulldog is my homage to Winston Churchill. It will actually be used as a trinket tray, a place to park keys and wallet at friends apartment. For a true cigar ashtray it would need be larger and have longer cradles for the cigars. Brad
