Shaker Humidor Console

[Phil Gaudio]

Although the Shakers were tobacco users, I don't believe they were cigar smokers. But if they were, I bet we might see a piece like this at one of the Shaker villages back in the day. Cherry/spanish cedar/ebony. OSMO Polyx hard wax oil finish. Hand cut DTs and M&Ts. Its a little easier to see the curved drawer front and top when you click on the individual thumbnail pictures.

I think the Shakers were clay pipe smokers if anything, but then they did not have coffee tables either. I built a ‘Shaker’ coffee table under the same premise, if they had had coffee......

Nice work, Phil, that top is stunning. Where’d you find that wood, the place in Enfield?

Thanks for sharing, have a great summer.

Kevin: Thanks! The top was interestingly enough given to me as a gift for buying a SawStop: can't recall the vendor, but it was online and they offered a $100 of free merchandise: I chose the curly cherry. I am trying to enjoy every last drop of Spring before I get to Summer! Best Phil

Give that man a ceegar! Nicely done - top is beautiful. And I like what I think is a fixed false top that seals the drawer when it's shut. Nice way to solve the humidification problem with drawers. Spanish cedar liner? Workmanship is great, and the curved front is subtle and very nice. Back in 99 I bought the first 300M that was available. Took it home and lined the glove box with Spanish cedar. Can't have too many humidors.

That is a sweet little table. The violin tuner peg as a pull is a visual treat. Nicely done. Is the false front being spaced away from the drawer box something to do with it being a humidor?

Appreicate the kind words! Wait: a glove box humidor: Brilliant! By the way, the drawer box is solid Spanish cedar: no liner involved.

Thanks! Gap is exactly that: cherry false front wants to live at ambient RH of around 45% while the spanish cedar drawer front is living at a much higher RH. The gap allows for air circulation so the two panels can co-exist.
