Default Project of the Day : Desktop Humi

This desktop is made of Zebrawood, Ebony, and Spanish Cedar.
I have been working on it forever, and most of the time has been spent just getting "okay" with it.
I can't count how many disasters it's been through.
I still have to extract and replace a screw, and make beads for inside the lid.
It's roughly 16"x10"x6" and will hold about 700 cigars if you run them through a blender first. I have no idea how many will fit if you just put them in there. Plenty, I'm sure.
Pics are on the way...

LOL... That would be a disgusting tasting shake, unless it was made with flavored cigars (maybe)! Anyhow, looking forward to pics!!

The divider doesn't look like it's removable ? It looks like it would be a 50 ct. max.

What do you think?

See, the whole bottom and center divider lifts out. I did that so that a person can experience the unfinished grain of the zebrawood. It's gorgeous.
It's kind of a goofy way to do it, but it just made sense.

I remember you were going to build some special humidors when we were on the old place. Expensive wood if I remember correctly.

Is this one of those?

Nice!

Very nice work

I'm always amazed at people with woodworking skills. If I tried, it would look like a soggy Puma shoe box.

Props!

Yup.
Just the wood and hardware was over 700 bucks. I bet I have another 3k in machines and tools and benches and stuff, and that's very conservative, cause if I kept track, I'd throw up.
