I was asked to make this humidor for a 70th birthday. Measures 13"×8"×8".

Paduk sides, curly maple top. Maple splines, lined with Spanish cedar.  The pull is mage of maple posts and ebony.  The bottom is saple.

Brusso hinges.

Thanks for looking.

Another classic Petey, looks real nice!

I've read a lot about the construction of humidors and mentioned often was to seal the interior (shellac/lacquer) behind the cedar to prevent moisture migration, but I can't imagine anything getting through hard/dense woods like that.

Biggest problem I have is locating the gauges. The digital ones I use are ideal for punching a hole through the top and being able to read the status from the outside, but having an "ugly" gauge messing up a fine wood lid is just insane.

You do great builds, design, construction, and woods are awesome!
Nice work as usual Petey 
outstanding Petey!!  well done!

Artistic beauty!   Love the blend of the woods.   Bridal hinges are the best.

Computer changed Brusso to Bridle, that's my excuse.

thats a fine looking humidor buddy ! id do one but dont even know one person that smokes cigars !

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

Looks great Petey. I know zilch about the working of the woods used interiorly, or the gauges, so I trust you got that part right. Don't want dried out Stogies. I'm sure it was well received.
Gary,Pottz,George, Thanks

Petey,

That is a dandy box, beautiful.  Brusso hinges are the best, $$ makes you tae a deep breath.

I love maple with rays through it.

WOW!!!!  Looks great!

live to tell the stories, they sound better that way

That turned out great Petey. I wasn't sure about the maple handle blocks but it ties i nicely with the splines.
Beautiful humidor, a great gift!
