Project of the Day : Cherry Travel Humidor

[shilala]

I've been working on a batch of four small humis for awhile now. Three are all from conventional cherry, they aren't done yet, but this one is made from old cherry flooring.
It turned out really cool, I just wanted to show you guys before I give it to Scott (sofaman). He doesn't have a travel humi and usually borrows mine. This one will hold a good 30 torps, something like a million robustos, so it'll be good.
I finished it with a satin poly, and it looks great. I finally got my poly thing down, figured out how to get the last coat on so it doesn't look awful, and this is the first subject I've finished that isn't screwed up, sanded a hundred times, and refinished.
I've had that flooring an a milk crate forever. I kept it just to do something like this. I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out.
I purposely didn't cover the inside with cedar so that it'd deliver the feel of "what it is". The bottom has a big thick slab of cedar on it that's super aromatic. It's more than enough.
Guys don't realize that what they get in most humis is cedar veneer and it doesn't give off much of a smell, if at all. A good Spanish Cedar is heavily aromatic and it doesn't take much before it's "too much".

Anyways, here she is...
