Beautiful humidor box.
Leopardwood is beautiful indeed, but is scarce isn’t it?

Very nice looking cigar humidor. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Thank you very much. It’s funny you say, welcome to LJs, cuz LJ is my name when people don’t know me as Lorne, ha. Anyways, I got the Humidifier and Hydrometer at: NeptuneCigars.com. They were cheap but still quite nice. They have magnets on the bottom of them so I can take them out of the box and fill them up.

Also, I don’t know if leopardwood is scarce or not, I found it on woodworkersource.com.

Thanks for your comments.

Very nice. I just made a humidor recently too, they are fun to make. This came out beautifully.

Nice Humidor! I really like the contrast between the Leopardwood and Basswood.

Great Humidor! I’ve got one on my list of things to build. What did you mean by “pressure fit” the interior?
Thanks for the post.

Wingstress. By pressure fit, I mean, the interior is not glued in. I glued the top Spanish Cedar in. The bottom piece and side cedar pieces were pressure fitted (basically really tight with no glue). This allows for the wood to change and move with the humidity. Also the bottom piece is about 1/16” short on the front and back but pressure fitted on the right and left sides, that also allows for the piece to move a bit more without noticing, since the side pieces cover it up.

Make sense?

Very nice work, I really love that wood.

beautiful, not much too add….

Nice Job! I like the contrast in woods. Leapordwood looks like it has the same type of visual characterstics as lacewood.

Thanks for posting it.

MMMM Arturo Fuente Opus X… they’re even the double fuente size if I’m not mistaken… I love those cigars.

This box is beautiful, I have been wanting to try making a humidor.

I just returned from a week long business trip to Denver. I envy several things you all have there. Your woodworking stores(ToolKing was cool, and there’s a Woodcraft and a Rockler less than 10 minutes from each other… neither one exists in Vegas,) your trees, complete with leaves that actually change color(although coming from the desert I suppose I could just say I envy your trees in general,) and most of all, I envy “The Celtic” in LoDo…. I live in Las Vegas, and there is not a finer bar in which you can smoke a cigar, the bartender Sam and John, one of the owners, are nice guys.

P.S. There’s someone selling a Millers Falls hand plane in your area on craigslist , as well as a LN #7 on eBay ... unfortunately neither party e-mailed me back before I had to leave… :-(

Keep up the great work!~
