Drool Time - Wood Gloat

[Ed Sallee]

It's been a while since I've been on the Creek... as I have moved from the Atlanta area to Charleston. It took a while to set up shop and get things rolling... Haven't been ignoring ya'all... just been up to my eyeballs.

I've been at it for a little over a month and have already built 12 humidors and getting ready to step off on another 5 or 6.... 5 ordered, 6 if i can squeak it out of the "scrap"....

I just couldn't resist showing this wood off... My gosh, this is some pretty stuff... I order it from my long time supplier in Atlanta and he picks it out for me.... as he knows what I'm looking for... and sends it on..

Anyways.... I still have 6 on the bench that need to get done this weekend... but this stuff is up against the wall causing total distraction....

I can't wait! PS: That piece of Cocobolo is 15" wide, 8' tall and 2" thick!!!

From left to right. Cocobolo, Book Matched Quilted Maple, Ziricote & Gabon Ebony, Figured Cherry & Walnut....

[gary Zimmel]

Looking forward to see what kind of humidors emerge from those boards Ed.
Good to see you back posting on the Creek...

You do nice work. I hate to think what the retail value of the wood in the first photo is.

I normally reserve "you suck" for good deals, in this case the wood is so gorgeous it gets:

YOU SUCK!
