    The 4th humidor in the series of 4.

    I built 4 of these using a variety of woods. This one is Bubinga and Curly Maple. It'll hold around 150 cigars. It weighs in at a whopping 14 lbs. In these pics it doesn't have the seal and I didn't remove the masking tape. These were the last pics I had a chance to take before it went out though. Please enjoy.

    I've gone to a new style with more capacity. I think you're going to like the next one.

    Another winner!! The bubinga is fantastic, and the contrast with the maple is perfect!

    So, how do you get the curly maple to machine that well without tearout?

    Nice! I really like those hinges. One of these days I'll attempt to make some wooden hinges...but not today...

    Very fantastic!

    In the last picture there are drilled holes approx 1/4" deep in each front corner what are these for... the gasket?

    How are the fancy finger joints done?

    Thanks very much. The holes are for magnets and the groove all the way around the edge of the cedar is for a gasket. Here's a pic of another humi with it in place.

    Bill - that is outstanding (as usual). Wood combination is fantastic and that inlay in the top is perfect to bridge the contrast between those two species.

    That one is most certainly an eye catcher, Bill. Outstanding...
