One Of Your Best, Ed!:tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

That is a great looking humi. :tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

I think I'm very tempted to claim it. :dr

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

You can see where I silicone sealed the seams to keep the front "accessory" compartment from leaking out the humidity...

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

It looks badass Ed! :banger I can't wait to get her and start filling her up :ss

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

The lid is awesome it adds that much more character to the humidor. Thanks you so much for the checkers!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Mr. Ed, you do some amazing work!!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

That thing is amazing. I know I can't afford it, but I have to ask. Are we talking $2000+, $4000+, $6000+...

I know it's a good investment.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Send Ed A PM. His Prices Are Very Reasonable!:tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Received my Humi from ED. I will post pictures up this weekend. I will have to wait to get the humidity set in her as I will be buying beads and a remote humidity gauge with 2 to 3 sensors.

This thing is huge! Thanks Ed for getting her out to me and the great packaging.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

She sure is! A lot of trays too!!!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Here are the pics of the HUGE humi that ED built me.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Beautiful, David! :tu How Many Sticks Should It Hold? Be Sure & Show Pics When It's Seasoned & Filled!:)

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

A few more.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

With all the shelves is about 750. I will post pics after she is seasoned. It will take some time to fill her, but I will post what I have.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Delicious !

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Ed Packs His Humis Great For Shipping, Doesn't He? I Know You're Happy!:):tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

When I saw the design of the humidor I knew it was going to be amazing. That things more impressive than I could have every imagined. I cannot wait to see the final product. I am totally jealous OldDirty. I’ll have to add a Waxing Moon Humidor to my long wish list!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Works of art Ed! :tu

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?

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

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?

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

:sh

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

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!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Ed that is a thing of beauty. Wow that ebony really makes the maple pop.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

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.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

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

Where's Waldo!

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC01552.jpg

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

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/DSC01548.jpg

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

You've been a busy man!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Did a lot of wood cutting in the shop today.... and took a little break and had fun making these little videos....

Humidor

Seal Test

Probably jumped the gun a bit... cuz she isn't quite finished... but, what the hell, I had fun doing it....

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Some of this wood grain....just gets ya dizzy.....
...how 'bout it Randy!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Man it looks like the grand canyon from 40000ft. Crazy patterns in there.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

I LOVE IT! If you only knew how much time I've already spent finding different things in that pattern you'd probably stage an intervention. Some main sights from a pow-wow with coworkers have been: two different versions of a viking warrior (i'm from Minnesota), a Dragonfish and a devil-monkey. Anyone have anything else?!

Thanks for the update Ed... I love watching this thing as it progresses. It looks awesome!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

I know I had posted some pics of this along the way... but, I just finished her up today and thought I would post the final pics.....

Bird's Eye Maple & Macassar Ebony
30" x 14" x 9" (more like 12" counting legs & drawer)
540 Count
Two way mirror/cigar band lid
Hidden Drawer - sort of disappears in to the front molding....

The BOTL that owns this humidor told me a very touching story that involved his father..... so, it was decided to name this humidor... "My Father"

Enjoy.....

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Ed that is a true thing of beauty. I am sure you did the story justice with this hum!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Wow just wow that humidor is stunning!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
 

Ed, my first official post on this forum. My friend, you are one of the most talented people I have ever met. You took my ideas and made them a reality. This humidor definitely has a story both from my end and yours.

Now get that thing shipped over!! Thanks again my friend!!
