I'm about done with a humidor that I am making for a friend - this is my first humidor. I hope to be applying the finish (Waterlox - a type of tung oil, followed by the Beall buffing system) soon. The box is made of black walnut with a spanish cedar lining. My questions are:
1. Should the cedar lining be glued to the inside of the box - possibly just
"tack glued" in the middle to allow for expansion?
2. I would think it might be a good idea to apply the finish to the inside of the box - to minimize the effects of the humidity on the walnut. However, if I apply a finish there, I cannot glue the cedar liner to those surfaces. What to do?
Thanks in advance for any help.
