The box is Red Alder with a Cherry base and lined with Spanish Cedar. I splurged and bought Smart Hinges from Andrew Crawford and finished the Alder with 5 coats of Tried and True Varnish Oil...and wax. The dimensions are approx. 13 x 10 x 4 and should hold around 15 to 20 cigars depending. 
First time working with Adler and it was a pleasure to use. This particular board has been in my shop for awhile and had caught my eye at the lumber store.

I like alder, looks like cherry without all the fuss (burning).
Humidor looks great, nice build!
Nice humidor! I can see why you grabbed that alder plank; it has some really nice figure.

great looking humidor. finish came out real nice.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Well done. I don’t smoke cigars but if I did Id like a humidor like yours. The alder looks great.  It looks book matched on the top.

Beautiful humidor! That red alder was a perfect choice.
I could never understand the reason for the presence of a hygrometer in a humidor! What do you do if you get an adverse reading... what is an adverse reading.   Do you send it back to Cuba or ask for a refund? 

Nevertheless, nice box.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
