as if I needed more projects to keep myself busy, I decided to combine some of my favorite things into one creation. this nautical themed cigar humidor in fact combines woodworking, sailing, laser blasting, my father (I am going to gift it to him!) and procrastinating…
it’s a pretty big box and does not in fact need to be used as a cigar humidor: the beautiful smell of the Spanish cedar lining makes this a special box for storing any kind of things (in fact somewhere along the way I probably told my wife it’s for her jewelry…).
the box is figured maple, continuous match on all 4 sides, satin polyethylene finish, top is burnished wenge.
built in honor of my father’s 70 years birthday, he doesn’t smoke often but from time to time, when we come visit, he pulls out a montecristo or one of his pipes. I know he will appreciate the effort and thought, and I can’t wait to see the joy and tears on his face when I’ll give it to him… or maybe I’ll sell it on Etsy, I don’t know
That’s really spectacular. I like the compass rose hygrometer.
I have just received a shipment of hinges, magnets, hygrometer, humidifier and cigars to fill a brand new humidor I’m making for an anniversary gift for a friend. I have the cedar for a lining, but still am trying to come up with some design elements. This is a god inspiration.
