Curved cabinet progress

09-17-2009, 06:34 PM

Hi Guys, this is a little project I'm doing. It's a curved humidor cabinet. The wood is Bubinga, Waterfall Bubinga and Gabon Ebony. No ebony yet but that will be next week. It's 57" wide, 42" tall and 32" deep. all 4 sides are bent lamination's. Behind what will be the 3 front doors will be shelves on the 2 outer sides and drawers up the middle. Should hold a couple cigars. Enjoy my friends.

This pic is just lacquer thinner, no finish.

This is one coat of Tung oil.

Cool dizzle.

Hi Bill, just curious if this is the first cabinet you've done. Your website only has pics of desktop humidors.

09-19-2009, 02:30 PM

Yes and no.

I've built a few hand made kitchens but this is my first cabinet humi. I've had to do a lot of research to get it right though. I think the biggest factors are taking into consideration wood movement due to the high humidity inside, containment of the humidity and proper circulation. I think I've got it all worked out.

It will be thoroughly tested before it ships to Illinois.
I just finished putting Ebony tips on the legs. They look like long legs in stilettos.

Right on there. Looks like a moire pattern, or even a Mandelbrot set.

Either that, or I'm having another flashback.
