Humidor
Humidor
Finish is Rubio mono coat. (2 coats on walnut) brown synthetic pad in between coats.
12" x 9" x 7 1/2"
Walnut top, cherry sides, ebony splines and knob.
The lid has off setting dato (s) so they interlock into a 1/4" dato in the sides. So the lid as room to expand.
Bottom is Spanish cedar. I used a "shaker" door router bit , leaving 1/4" toung to fit into a 1/4 dato in the sides. The box is lined with Spanish cedar.
The Woodpeckers micro adjuster on the router fence was critical in getting the off setting dato ( s) fitted just right.
Brusso hinges.
Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Petey
C'mon Petey, you must have more in you than just two pickies between rounds of international golf courses.
With all these boxes posted lately, I better up my game with the puzzles.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

I love the way you arranged the wood and the Ebony handle and splines are perfect. I once built a box with an Ebony handle and splines. It came out nice.

Very classy looking Petey, nice mix of woods for great coloring.
Great work on the floating lid, allowing it to move is a smart idea.

James and Old tool thanks. I finally got the splines where I wanted them calculating the kerf when I cut off the lid.
