Jewelry box to go with humidor

[Bill Wyko]

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much. Long hours beating the economy into submission. A while back I had posted a Koa Humidor I had made for a woman to give to her husband. She also decided she would like a jewelry box to match it. It took me 6 months to catch up but it's finally done. It's Koa, Curly Maple, hard Maple and Walnut. Please enjoy.

Absolutely amazing Bill!!!

Beautiful box, as usual. Your work is quite inspirational. This piece makes me wonder if I'm losing it, though. I clearly read "jewelery box" to go with a previously made humidor, afterwhich I promptly looked at the pictures and thought "there's no way a cigar can fit in there with all those dividers!" Gorgeous piece, regardless of my lack of reading comprehension.

Just outstanding.

[Chris Haas]

phenomenal

Thanks guys very much. There's a matching humidor to go with it. The humi has an "S" initial on top for their last name and she loves Hawaii so I did the flower. It was my first attempt at the toasting in the hot sand technique. I'm quite happy with the results. Just another trick I learned from the pro's here.

I thought I saw a flash from down south. I thought it was some secret nuclear testing they were doing in the desert between us but now I'm guessing it was just when you walked from your shop to the house with the jewelry box and the sun hit it just right. I hope you didn't blind any satellites with that.

Amazing work, as usual. Your inlay looks great. The edge burn gives it great dimension. The wood is stunning and you've used it to maximum effect. Somehow, it isn't too busy, even though it's full of movement. Great job. I'm always anxious to see what you've done next.

Thanks so very much everyone. I'm already on to the next 3 projects. As far as the corners go, I learned that from Jameel, another member here. He did a "how to" on the build of an Oud. I did it on one humi and got requests for the design ever since.

[Jeff Hamilton Jr.]

That is incredible, simply incredible.

Like the previous poster, I too would love to know how those corners were constructed!

Quite a bar you've set . . .

Hey Bill - not to hijack this thread but did you ever finish that giant humidor you were working on a while back? Bubinga if memory serves. Apologies if you posted it - I missed it if you did.
