Re: Help Me Create The Ultimate Humidor.
I like that kind of top, sort of. 1800's English style.
The best woodworkers in the world still reside in England. It's also the home of the best woodworking toolmakers. When our country began, all that styling came right over here and then morphed just a bit because of our resources and restraints, becoming "Contemporary American". "Contemporary American" just means "we don't have time to do all that fancy sh1t, get this thing out the door, Ed." That's why Shaker stuff became so popular, then we got used to that spartan look, which got punched up in the 50's with Art Deco. We then fell in love with "round" again, and it spawned an appreciation and desire for 1800's English style again, and woodworkers scrambled to learn traditional English styles and ways of doing things. (I study them cause it's what I like and they're ingenious.) Funny, huh? Thus ends the woodworking history lesson for today.
