Spanish cedar lining

That looks really nice! :thumbs:

Any concern that the 1/8" plywood will warp a bit?

The more I think about the RH issue and warping, the more I really don't think it's a problem. The reason I say this is that at least where I live in the summer, our outside RH is more than the 65% I try to maintain in my humidor anyway. So with that train of thought, I just don't see it being an issue. Same school of thought for special chemical adhesives when building a humidor, the regular woodworking projects I build are exposed to a much higher range of RH's than the lining of my humidor, so again I think the warpage factor isn't really that big if a deal if the humidor is made with tight tolerances and good joinery to begin with. I may be wrong in my thinking, but it's my .02!

I wouldn't worry about the issue of warping. What I am curious about is the Oak Plywood, which does not retain humidity very well, as compared to Mahagony, Spanish Cedar, or Luan. You may find your humidty levels fluctuating unless it is fill with SLB's.

Right on, Tim. I would shoot for adding some volume of Spanish cedar as a buffer for RH. The first job of the cedar lining is exactly that. Spanish cedar will absorb moisture without warping.

The name of the paneling you a looking for is called Luan

It is at Lowes or Home Depot.
