[…] This was my second finely-crafted box, and I think I am improving. Perhaps I’ll make myself a humidor in 2007 with the leftover lacewood. […]

Okay, I have no idea how to even go about doing something like this. A million questions, but I guess I’ll just wait for a writeup sometime and be in utter awe until then.

Beautiful work. And thanks for sharing.

I have a hygrometer for the top, but I haven’t found a humidifier I like just yet. I’m impressed you knew what those were - I sure didn’t before I started this project!

I think I will do the inside lip cedar as well, Phil. Apparently a tight-ish seal is a good thing to lock all the moisture in there.

Did you also know that you’re supposed to have one humidor for every kind of cigar you have? Apparently the flavors would mingle over time, regardless of contents.

Are you going to add a humidifier and hygrometer? Looks great!

that’s a beautiful piece Dave. nice work. the banding and mortising look very professional. are you going to splise in cedar on the inside lip of the lid? i guess it’s not really that important (i’m just kind of too much of a perfectionist sometimes). the wenge really sets of the edge transition nicely. i like the light to dark to medium. the spalted top is a nice touch also. i’ve always appreciated your dedication and thoroughness towards the quest for knowledge (wouldn’t have thought about the difference in cedars).

Gabe, you might have noticed I added a “Furniture” category for projects like this, your wine rack, etc. If you have a few minutes, would you go back and add this category to relevant posts?
