    At long last, the Humidor is done (lots of pics)

    You all may have heard rumor of the humidor I've been building for the last few months for My BIL Eric Gustafson (a member here) I told him a couple years ago I'd build him a Humidor for X-Mas. I just didn't say which X-Mas. So I felt I owed him a good one. It's made of Bloodwood, Quilted Maple, Gaboon Black Ebony and Spanish Cedar. It weighs around 40 lbs and will hold a couple hundred or so cigars. The drawers have double dovetails and the doors have Black Ebony hinges. The clasp on the front door was made with my Festool Domino and slides to the left to open it. I really hope you all like it. It took me a few months to finish it. Speaking of finish, it's 6 coats of Tung Oil and 4 coats of Minwax paste wax and hand rubbed every coat.

    Guess what, error on page won't let me post pics I'm going to close out and come back and try again.

    That's spectacular!

    Bill,
    I'd almost take up smoking if I were presented with that humidor... but where would one put the hygrometer (sp?) and moisture resevoir? (I think they're supposed to have that stuff, right?)

    Wow. Your humidor is amazing. I cannot tell for sure from the pictures, but did you make the drawer sides out of spanish cedar also?

    EDIT - Nevermind. I saw what you did. Excellent work.

    Nice work.

    Nice work.
    Thanks Tim, the drawers are made from quilted maple for the front and hard maple for the other 3 sides. The double dovetail is bloodwood. The bottom is dadoed in and is spanish Cedar and slotted to keep moisture even between drawers. Then an insert was made of spanish cedar to line the interior of all the drawers.
