Beautiful! Very creative. Albert Einstein's quote comes to mind.
"Creativity is Intelligence having fun"

I built these a bit different than most builders. I’ll just say to get the piston fit on the joints and inlays required exacting precision as any accumulated error would really show up on the square patch work patter and inlays. Since humidors have to be designed to retain humidity on the inside and ambient humidity on the outside, they should be built of veneers on stable substrates. I never actually counted the individual parts but I’d guess there to be 300 -500 individual pieces to achieve the look and function.
Fantastic!!
