Cigar Cigarette Ashtray Handmade From

Solid​ ​hand​ ​hammered​ ​copper​ ​ashtray​ ​for​ ​cigars​ ​and​ ​cigarettes.​ ​​ ​Made​ ​from​ ​heavy​ ​gauge​ ​re-purpused​ ​copper​ ​and​ ​hand​ ​made​ ​by​ ​me​ ​in​ ​my​ ​little​ ​shop.

I​ ​only​ ​use​ ​pure​ ​repurposed​ ​/​ ​recycled​ ​​ ​solid​ ​copper​ ​sheets​ ​to​ ​create​ ​with.​ ​​ ​The​ ​copper​ ​is​ ​99.9%​ ​pure​ ​copper.​ ​​ ​​ ​I​ ​hand​ ​hammer​ ​each​ ​piece​ ​using​ ​my​ ​grandfathers​ ​hammers.​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​I​ ​send​ ​this​ ​to​ ​you​ ​without​ ​any​ ​chemical​ ​treatment​ ​or​ ​modern​ ​finishing​ ​so​ ​the​ ​natural​ ​patina​ ​of​ ​copper​ ​can​ ​develop​ ​it​ ​rich​ ​beautiful​ ​color.​ ​​ ​Each​ ​piece​ ​is​ ​unique.​ ​​ ​The​ ​recycle​ ​copper​ ​I​ ​use​ ​comes​ ​with​ ​its​ ​own​ ​signature​ ​of​ ​marks​ ​and​ ​scratches.​ ​​ ​I​ ​remove​ ​most​ ​of​ ​them​ ​but​ ​leave​ ​a​ ​few​ ​to​ ​retain​ ​its​ ​original​ ​identity.

Copper​ ​is​ ​the​ ​traditional​ ​gift​ ​for​ ​a​ ​7th​ ​wedding​ ​anniversary.​ ​Copper​ ​will​ ​last​ ​lifetimes.​ ​​ ​You​ ​will​ ​enjoy​ ​this​ ​for​ ​years​ ​to​ ​come​ ​and​ ​will​ ​pass​ ​it​ ​on​ ​for​ ​generation.

I​ ​make​ ​everything​ ​by​ ​hand,​ ​using​ ​100​ ​year​ ​old​ ​tools​ ​passed​ ​down​ ​to​ ​me​ ​and​ ​techniques​ ​from​ ​old.​ ​​ ​I​ ​form​ ​copper​ ​in​ ​my​ ​little​ ​work​ ​shop​ ​on​ ​top​ ​of​ ​a​ ​hill​ ​bending​ ​and​ ​hammering​ ​on​ ​an​ ​old​ ​tree​ ​stump.
