A recent thread on this forum led to a nice small commission to produce a cricket trophy based on the actual ashes trophy, complete with an inscription.
Made from a piece of Olive Ash, the finish is spray on melamine (Chestnut) (which, thanks I might guess to my moaning to axminster about it, is now available from them, previously it was only available by post from some other supplier who was asking an arm and a leg for postage, so a considerable saving now Axminster stock it.) this is the end result which I am happy to say has been received with delight by the customer!
The original has a square section pair of handles which would have been very difficult to incorporate into this small (6" in height) urn. Mo was a great Uncle of the customer.
