#52 Build - Curly Maple & Walnut
This humidor is going to be another fun build..... Curly Maple & Walnut... always a classic combination. This curly maple looks nice and clear and has a lot of curl.... I can't wait to bring her to life....
She's going to be 26" x 12" x 12" and should turn out to be a 535 count humidor. She's going to get a lid stay, base molding and trays out the wazoo.... This one is going to the UK! Stay tuned for more!!!

Excellent. I really like the look of the Curly Maple, and I'm pretty sure when I finally get the cash together for one of your works of art, it will definitely be the main wood on my humidor.
Looks like #52 will be a phenomenal looking humi! |

Anxious to see the build on this one Ed. The process you use for staining and poly will bring out more of the grain for the maple, correct?

Re: #52 Build - Curly Maple & Walnut
I spent the last couple of days milling wood down to size.... there are a lot of parts to these things.... each side has four pieces.... and we haven't even started on the lid or the spanish cedar.
I went with a double "V" groove on the base of this one.... rather deep... I wanted to break up the base a little bit, as I had to make it a little over 3" in order to get the 12" height as ordered.... Hard to find curly maple wider than 10".... but, where there's a will, there's a way....

Cut and glued in and sanded down the splines.... drilled the hinge holes and cut off the top.... she's coming along very nice.... start working on the lid next..
