Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
It's been busy in the Waxing Moon shop..... I have all sorts of nice exotics to play around with.... Most of the work I've been doing has been simply dimensioning and planing the wood down to the specifications.....
Currently in the shop.... Quilted Maple, Macassar Ebony, Gabon Ebony, Wenge, Goncalo Alves, Teak, Walnut, Figured Cherry.... and probably a couple more that I can't remember.... I know, it's probably boring to look at a chunk of rough cut wood, so, I'll wait and post as they start to look like something.... With that being said... Here's some progress on a couple of them... WMWH58 - Mahogany & Wenge. This piece of mahogany is old growth... Just can't find it like this anymore. My wood supplier told me that this board was there when he started working there 30 years ago. Anymore, with all the harvesting and orchard type growth... you just don't see it like this anymore. Take a look at that fantastic ribbon effect, it's really going to pop when she gets to the finishing stage.... This humidor is bound for Tokyo! http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...8/DSC00451.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...DSC00455-1.jpg WMWH60 - Zebrawood & Walnut. This is going to go with a glass top... I love this combination..... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...DSC00444-1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...DSC00453-1.jpg |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
WoWWWW! That Mahogany & Wenge Is Going To Be Gorgeous, Ed!:banger What Are The Dimensions & Capacity On That Beauty?:dr

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Busy in the Waxing Moon shop....
These things are starting to look like something.... The tops need to be glued up and assembled, beveled & then we need to do the contrasting splines.... and then finish 'em up by lining them with the SC.... Still have a bunch more to do, but things are going real well in the shop.... so, we're clicking right along From Front to Back, Left to Right.... WMWH70 - Cherry & Walnut.... WMWH61 - Walnut & Wenge WMWH66 - Walnut & Cherry WMWH58 - Mahogany & Wenge WMWH60 - Zebrawood & Walnut.... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC00457.jpg Plus....new addition to the Waxing Moon shop.... This brand spanking new Grizzly Bandsaw.... Now I can get through some of the steps much quicker and more efficient.... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC00458.jpg |

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Good day in the shop.... Got all the lids glued together and on to the boxes, did a couple with splines and beveled one of the lids.... Oh... check out the curl in that walnut that is going to be the lid on Matador's quilted maple humidor.....
Also...just a quick snapshot of what the Waxing Moon shop looks like... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00459.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00461.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00460.jpg |

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
The burl on that plank is awesome.
I wish I had that much room. The shop looks great! Thanks for sharing. |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Things are going great.... They're all humidors now with the exception of the Zebrawood & Walnut... but, that should be soon. They've been lined - I just need to install the hingework and make the trays and these will be down the road.... Then we'll have a nice new batch to play with....

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Sorry for being a little slow on the updates.... running to the hospital and work has been taking most of my time to do the updates.... But, here's a few for now...

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Merry Christmas Everybody!
As you can see.... pretty busy in the Waxing Moon shop..... A bunch of humis in various stages sitting on the bench at the moment... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00543.jpg To highlight a couple.... Here is a Quilted Maple & Walnut.... This thing is huge... 34" x 13" x 10 and should be good for about 650 cigars... The quilted maple will pop significantly when oiled. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00536.jpg And here is a Macassar Ebony & Gabon Ebony humidor... 18" x 14" x 8"... I can't wait for this thing to come together... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00539.jpg And.... I just have to show this Walnut lid.... look at that curl.... It's framed up with Wenge.... The bottom picture has mineral spirits wiped on to give an idea of what it will look like when finished.... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00546.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...0/DSC00550.jpg |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
That walnut lid looks like liquid gold. Absolutly beautiful.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Coming Soon.....
Thinking about putting out a "down & dirty" humidor with a great seal.... Modelled after the all too familiar foot locker.... Build it, line it... and trim it out.... What do ya'all think? http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...FootLocker.jpg |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Looks like an awesome idea!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
I think the footlocker-style humidor is a terrific idea.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
I agree on the Footlocker Humi - We could use a good military commemorative humidor!!:tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Incredible work.
