My Humidor Project

So here's my current project. It's fiddleback mahogany on the outside with an african mahogany door (yet to be built) and frame, with a pomelle spanish cedar inside... yup, even the spanish cedar inside is figured wood!

Very cool! I wish I was skilled at something meaningful like that, instead of useless things like eating, smoking and playing golf. LOL

Keep us updated on the progress!

To find solid boards like that... it'd it be impossible. I bought a huge veneering system and am custom veneering my own panels.

that's what I did, I cut my own veneer and used a vaccu-press veneer system in 4x8 poly bags.

more fun anyways, I love bookmatched veneer

Very nice. How is it coming along? Looks like it'll be quite awsome. Aren't vacuum presses great. They open so many doors to creativity. Keep the pics coming please.

FINALLY got some time off of work to get some work done on my humidor! Started spraying the clear coat yesterday, and did some wet sanding and a second round of coats this morning. Here's how she stands right now:

I know that isn't a great picture since I'm waiting til my BestBuy Reward Zone points hit to get a new camera... and for now it's just the blackberry doin' the pictures... so here's a closeup so you can get a better idea as to the grain and colors of the piece:
