This Rosewood Cigar Humidor was a custom commission for a gentleman from Australia. The Rosewood is veneer that I applied directly over the Spanish Cedar using a water proof glue. The edges are protected by 1/4×1/4 strings of Burmese Blackwood. The inlay at the bottom was also at the direction of my client in Ebony, and Karelian Birch. The next pic simply shows the divider, along with humidifier, and hygrometer prior to installation. The final is one the truly sets this out as custom with a engraving listing my client. The last photo shows that the Child Labor laws never stuck in South Carolina.

Beautiful humidor with a great wood combo. The engraving is a nice personal touch. I know it will be well received. Nicely done!

Beautiful box, very good looking and well done, precise joinery, and great looking hardware installation (interested in where to get them), a real professional looking piece, your client will be beside himself when he gets it. Your engraving, I am assuming was done with a CNC machine, looks great, can you share what kind of machine you use, I would really love to get one of them, great job. Keep working and sharing

Really nice box, and beautiful wood choices. I am planning on starting on a few humidors myself, although, admittedly as a rookie the quadrant hinges have me a bit intimidated. I think I will use Woodcraft’s hinges without the friction rod.
Going on the assumption that you do these professionally I do have to ask, why have you elected to leave the humidifier and hygrometer unmounted? I assume it is so the customer might place it where he chooses. Also, do you prefer to use the sponge, or gel type humidifiers? It appears to be a gel insert to me. I just want to get these right when I build them.

Very skukum looking. Wonderful choice of wood and the plaque is really an attractive addition as well.
