Hard to say Goodbye

04-16-2010, 10:51 PM

When you build things with your own 2 hands from scratch its one of the most gratifying feelings when it all comes together and turns out the way you envisioned. The down side to what I do is I have to take those items and send them off when completed. Every now and then it gets really hard and this is one of those times. As long as it took me to get these shipped to Ed, he probably thought I was going to keep them.

Well they are packed snug as a bug in a rug and sitting in a cold dark truck right now instead of in my cooler. Soon they will be in their new home.

That's the only thing that keeps me shipping, I always have more to work on

The Wenge is funny wood to work with the grain is very deep but seals up nice.
Working on some photos so look for some next week.

I know how you feel brother. It kills me to ship Humidors that I've made with my finest woods. Then I look at my special stash of woods I have set aside for my own humi project and wonder when I'll get to build it.

Beautiful job on those trays. Cocobolo is one of my favorite woods. It makes great wood hinges too. A+ my friend.

That set shipped was just under $250.

I have a pile too

I just never get to it. I have plans to do so many things and there is always something else that needs done.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.
