Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Thanks! I first was contemplating getting a Montecristo 75th anniversary humidor but when I saw Ed's design of the prototype I was put back on how nice it was. We talked abit and I went ahead and ordered one. He sure is doing a good job building it :tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Damn I wonder how many that huge cabinet is going to hold. 1,500? 2,000?

Bill: According To Ed: "840" Beautiful !:dr

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

When I first saw the design my interest was spiked also. His work and humidors are amazing. I cannot wait to see it filled up. Is the plan to put shelves, drawers, or both in the slots?

It's been a while since I've posted....but will be having a few coming off the bench within the next couple of days.... I built out trays for 5 of them today... just a little clean up on 'em and they'll be ready.... Some interesting combinations coming up....

Been working on this one as well... she's not quite done, but close enough... I'll post again after she's lacquered up.... Just got a little exited...

Bird's Eye Maple & Gabon Ebony.... 30" x 14" x 10" for about 550 count.....

Did a few different things with this one.... She has a hidden accessory drawer, elevated legs, Two Way Mirror for the lid...which offers pretty cool reflection of your stogies when ya open it up.... surrounded by an inlay of cigar bands.... Wrought iron handles & a lock.... phew... glad she's about done!

Lignum Vitae (Tree of Life) & Brazilian Ebony...

15x10x6.5
130 Count
Two Half Trays
Bead Tray

This wood is probably the most expensive I've worked with.... It is the densest wood on the market. It will turn a turquoise greenish color and the brazilian ebony will get to nearly black..... No finish at all on it... just natural

It has maritime connections - and the BOTL that ordered happened to be in Charleston on the day it finiished.... He's a yacht captain for somebody... that's why he wanted the Lignum Vitae.... Cool Stuff! Picture myself and the Dan, the BOTL who ordered... I'm the guy on the left.

You are talented Ed!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

It amazes me every time I visit this thread. I will own one of these one day.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Those are some beautiful Humidors Ed! I think my favorite is the lacewood and quilted on the bottom shelf of the desk in the picture with you and Dan. That lignum vitae looks like a crazy wood too. It seems to change color depending on the angle and light.

More Humidors OFF the bench means more room for mine to go ON the bench... Can't wait!! :wo

This humidor is for Ranger_B... winner of the "Support the Troop" raffle.... he wanted a cigar band lid...and sent me the bands.... took a few hours this morning and pieced 'em together....

Oh yeah, I cleaned that smudge off my camera lens that is evident in the top right of the pics.... lol
