thanks, mate!

glad i asked.

i was going to add my name to the list, but i don't have anything to trade that would be even close to a fair trade.

those are BEAUTIFUL! WOW!!

i can vouch for Jason! i believe i was one of the first if not the first to receive an ashtray made by him and im totally impressed. i sent him my sticks way before hand so he had something good to smoke while working on mine! hope all is well Jason, and keep on doing what your doing!

[Nely]

Hell yeah! Jason is a true artist, and his ashtrays are a work of art. They are so pretty that you almost wouldn't want to use them. Only special cigars touch mine that's for sure!

[Moglman]

I'm on the list, and I'm friggin stoked about it. Unfortunately, Jason may decide to take me off permanently after he gets the package that's on the way.

SWEET!!! Jason's ashtrays are the best. I have seen the pictures and am really excited to be on the list!

Jason, if the lit cigar foot can't touch the laquer, do you just let it go out in the rest (not that it really matters)? I wonder if you could find a heat resistant laquer....

SWEET

Sorry guys, not adding to the list just yet but keep checking back as I will post here when I open up the books again. Too many to make at the moment so I really need to catch up.

The idea being that you hang the hot foot over the edge of the rest and let the cigar go out on its own. Most cigars will go out within a few seconds when you're finished, this just helps protect the finish. I am looking into diffenrent ways to finish ashtrays one of which will be with oil and will leave the wood in a more natural state.

What a great looking ash tray! I always wanted to be a wood guy, never had the skills. Nice gesture

Just a wee update. Cigar no baka and Paul Hag's ashtrays are in the final stages (if they take any longer they'll turn into fossils ) Put a sealing coat on tonight and will start top coats tomorrow. Takes about a week to get final coats done.

Cheers
Jason

P.S. Been working on some cool (I hope) designs for you other monkeys on the list... and one who isn't, he's on my private list but somehow read my mind and knows I'm sure he has super powers and you know who you are

Its sooooooooooo worth the wait, they're awesome. I seriously doubt we'll ever use ours for what they're made for. Just use the old Stinky and admire the ones Jason made. The only thing better than the ash trays them selves is the feller that made them. Gonna put them in our will so we know they'll be taken care of..

I know what you mean Frank. I swore I'd use mine, but I just can't bring myself to chance destroying this beautiful thing! I use it to rest the cigar if I'm doing something though. Of course, I promptly wipe it clean!

You got that right, Frank. Jason does AWESOME work. Each one shows an enormous amount of craftsmanship and care put into it.
I only wish I had put myself on his list long ago.
He'll be an old ball draggin geezer () before he finishes for those that already have asked.

Jason, how you been my friend? So far so good with the ashtray. Thanks again!
