How do you get the darker piece of wood on the dovetails between the drawer fronts and the drawer sides? Beautiful work!

I hate to say this but this is my first real Humidor. Built a couple dozen boxes though.

Absolutely SICK! I love it! Great work!
Question - Do you have to make many changes from a typical box/cabinet design due to the humidity? I'd think having ~70% inside and low outside would be the ultimate stress test of wood movement. Say for something like the paneled side, is that one set of rail/stiles with a sandwiched spanish cedar and figured maple panel?

When I built this piece, I used dowell pins and biscuits.(I didn't have my Domino yet.) When I put the Cedar in it, I left room for movement in ways you can't see. I hope it holds together. We'll know soon. My BIL is ordering Cigars today. BTW this was a major hit at the show.

Eric Got it up to 68% humidity and it seems to be holding strong. I'll put up some pics when it's full of cigars.

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
That is done with the INCRA JIG router fence system. It comes with guide strips that align your cuts. I do it a little differently than they say in the instructions. I feel I get slightly better results but it requires a drum sander. You can see more of my work on their site www.incra.com in their gallery.
