I like the granite detail, bet it made this heavy.

I am planning to build one for my brother-in-law's birthday. I see a lot of good ideas in this one. I really like the contrasting edges.

Lovely box! Perfect combination of gorgeous woods, the edge banding sets it off. Very clean lines, impressive work!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Yes woodbutcherbynight, this humidor is quite hefty!

Great work! I am planning on building a humidor soon, have been doing some research on it. How did you fabricate the top? Is it veneer? If not how did you account for wood movement?
I am trying to figure out the design on mine and am worried about wood movement with a solid wood top, looking for some input from people with experience. Thanks.

Nice job! Just found this. Wondering, why granite for the base? Definitely adds weight, does that add any other value to the humidor?

Crosswingswood, honestly the granite is just a unique feature for aesthetics. Theoretically it adds a conductive thermal mass th help regulate the temperature inside the box to maintain a room temp of around 70 F, which is ideal for cigar storage.
