This was my first attempt at a humidor. I followed plans from fine woodworking magazine. It is solid mahogany with walnut edge banding. The interior liner is Spanish cedar. I finished it with 5 coats of tung oil finish the polished with the Beal tool company polishing wheels.
Like my last post, I donated this to a charity auction for my kids’ school. Again, I’ve never sold anything, so I just said to try and get 100 bucks for it. Hopefully it will be a good auction.
Comments welcome…
Thanks

That’s really beautiful. If I still smoked cigars, I might bid on it! Nicely done.

How difficult was it to install those hinges? I’ve never tried, but I hear they’re a pain. The humidor looks great, by the way.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
mageagle1 – the dimensions are about 12 long X 7 wide X 5.5 high
JP – those hinges are actually a lot easier to install than quad hinges. A router table with a positive stop makes quick work of it, but you definitely need a test cut on some scrape wood before you cut the box you’ve been working on so long…
