I had to quit smoking. I didn’t want to, so I made an ashtray, with my face on it. Just for fun.
As some people know, I like to practice sculpting in Artcam. I’m not too good at it yet, but that doesn’t stop me 
This is a straight on face, which is harder, but I’m making a crazy face, so it doesn’t matter much.
The Face Wizard is really easy use with a side profile, but that’s it. Once you start turning the head, it becomes much less automatic.
The ashtray is 3" wide by 5" Long, .75" deep.
I had bought a pack of 3 different hardwoods (Black walnut, Maple, and cherry) from:

It was very nice with no deformities, or knots.
This is Cherry, I beleive. It looks very close to the maple I have, and now they’re mixed up
The .stl file for the ashtray was a gift from a friend. It originally had a pic. of what appears to be my American President.
We have all heard how “he likes to sue”. It’s not illegal to put someones face on something for art, and not for profit, and you can’t get blood from a turnip, but I wasn’t taking any chances
I’m not giving the original file away, it’s not mine, but the one with my face is in the shared .stl folder Here:
A) Materials used- Cherry
B) Cutters-1/4", 3fl, EM, and 1/16", 2fl, ball endmill.

Additional details and extras aren’t required but might help in earning votes from the Carbide Community:
E) Work-holding- Carpet tape
F) Finishing- Burned with a small propane torch, then shellacked, then Howard’s feed-n- wax
G) Sourcing of supplies is often very helpful.- I get most stuff on ebay
H) Concept Sketch- A friend sent me a couple of .stl files of ashtrays.
I) Machining Time- About 30 minutes to set up and machine. Most of the time was spent in CAM.
I hope to see more contestants!
I have a lot of fun seeing what others are making.
