So after Mike (Remo5_0) got a sweet ass humidor made I thought, why not me. I contacted his guy and he has officially started on my project. I'll update this thread with photos as I get them.
Here's the beginning....

It's going to be about 18x12x8 and hold about 300 smokes.

I'm not the one building it Tom, but the builder assures me there is enough wood.

Is that black walnut, Andrew? It's got lots of character. I like that a lot more than really clear stuff, you can tell it's really wood.

Hey Scott...not black walnut it's Cocobolo.
I have a couple of pieces of cocobolo lying around from a woodworking auction, that stuff is heavy and will make one heck of a humidor. What design are you going for Andrew?
I have seen the plans for the humi and it will be very very nice!!!
I need to make a build thread for mine :tu

It's a surprise Matt. I won't reveal it until it's in my hands. Only Frank knows...he can be bribed with donuts.

It would be nice to have a truly bottomless humidor that also kept RH. One can fantasize..
DPD6030
10-11-2011, 05:45 PM
Well obvious my design is no secret now. I wanted a custom humidor with the thin blue line. I'm going to fill it with smokes and every time I open it I'm going to smoke a cigar for a fellow LEO Brother/Sister that has made the ultimate sacrifice. I figured it's a good way to honor the men and women. That and it has a special place in my heart. :tu
It isn't finished just yet. More things have to be added. I can't wait to get it, season it and display it proudly.
That's a great humidor and great idea!

Just got an email. This ships out Wednesday :noon
"I hope you like it and it meets your expectations. All that is missing is “6030” number plate that is being laser engraved. I also may have another little surprise for it, but still working on it. It is definitely one of a kind.
I’ll give you the low down on it. It’s solid Cocobolo, nothing is veneered. The black legs, handle and top panel are walnut that’s been ebonized by using a chemical reaction between tannic acid and a nasty rust mixture of vinegar and rusty nails. The bottom panel is Maple. The aluminum strips are solid ¾” x 1/8” and the blue line is blue epoxy. The legs were inspired by handgun or rifle magazines and have .40 caliber bullets in each of the holes. The finish is 4 coats of shellac and then a coat of paste wax. The inside is all Spanish cedar, with two trays and to movable dividers. I had a heck of a time trying to find hinges and something that would keep the lid up and open, but what I used worked well. It has a great seal on it. The movable dividers flex the cedar just a bit, making the seal even tighter. You’ll see what I mean when you get it".

Well I got this beast on the 21st and it's been "seasoning". It's quite large. The photos don't do it justice by size or quality. Still waiting for it to soak up the humidity. So far it's at 57%.
Shout out to Aaron for the time consuming process on this monster of a humidor. The thing weighs a ton.
