So I was originally asked by a good friend to replace his present humidor (a plastic bag with a boveda) with something a little flashier. I found a lovely article in fine woodworking and went to town. They’re all constructed out of Spanish cedar, birch plywood bottoms and 1/2” MDF lids. I decided to use shop sawn veneer for a little extra freedom with sanding, and I went with traditional hammer veneering and hot hide glue. The finish is a couple coats of shellac with 10 coats of emtech 6000 gloss lacquer and polished to the maximum. The first Is quilted maple with cocobolo trim, the second is Brazilian rosewood with mun ebony trim, the third and fourth are pommele sapele with mun ebony, the fifth is quilted maple and East Indian rosewood, and the last one is claro walnut burl and ebony. Humidors are my favorite project, instant appeal and so many creative opportunities. This post is from my phone, sorry I’m advance for the formatting disaster.
