Delta project of the month.
 

I had built this humi for a friend in CA. I posted pics of it in Delta tools gallery just for fun. I got an e-mail today from Delta informing me that the humi won project of the month. I didn't even know they did a project of the month so it was a nice suprize. I thought it was kind of cool that a humidor can hold its own against the furniture world

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Amazing! How long does it take you to make something like that?

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Wow...that's absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on your win :)

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

That's not just a humi, it's a work of art.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

That is beautiful!!

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Thanks everyone. This one took me about 3 months. I work on them in my off hours. The wood for that one was some of my finest. There's only 2 that were made with it. I wish I had saved some for myself. ;)

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

So what's the prize?

And as far as holding up against furniture that one humidor you showed me is furniture.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

the detail on that is amazing... very deserving of an award.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Beautiful work!!!

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

That is beautiful!!

I feel good knowing I will be able to keep people like you in businiess, because there isn't a chance in hell I would ever be able to do that. :D

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

I'm not sure if there is a prize. They should provide a box of Tats or something.:banger

"Each corner has 170 individual pieces." :jd :jd

Would love to see a closeup of a corner.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Absolutely gorgeous.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Here is a shot of one of the inlays by itself. I'm wrong though, I think it's more like 182 pieces. There's 7 pieces in each triangle and there's 22 triangles and 4 parallelograms

Freaking awesome work man.


Whan I am rich and famous I am calling you for a humi.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Dude, that thing is simply amazing. Well done!!!

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

That is gorgeous. I wish I had the ability to get my corners that artistically precise. I am just happy when they make 90 degrees.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

I can't do 4 perfect 90's for the life of me so don't feel bad. :) They drive me frickin nuts.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Wow what a beautiful piece of art. That would a welcome addition to any collection. Looks like it belongs in a museum.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Yup!!:tu

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

I would have trouble with one...You Did 4 of these....just amazing. I would have bumped it and pieces would have been everywhere:bh:<

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

In-freaking-credible! :dr

What's funny is, my friend came in and saw me doing something like this. He said "Here, put these on" They were reading glasses. It was like he opened me up to a new world. I had never seen what I was doing so well before. :r Now I need them all the time.
I'm going to attempt a Sam Maloof rocking chair in the near future. I'll put them to good use for sure. Here is a picture of one of his originals. One of his is for sale for the bargain price of $40.000.00 bucks. Replicas go for around $8000.00. Problem is, you'll put 12k of work into it to build it. :D look closely at the transitions. Everything flows from one piece to another. Someday I'll be sitting back in one smoking a great cigar reading Fine Woodworking (With my reading glasses). (Some day):D

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Amazing looking chair there.

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Absolutely gorgeous! Ok, I have to ask since I'm in the market for one. How much and do you take orders?

Re: Delta project of the month.
 

Incredible work! Very impressive, and congrats on the recognition. It is well deserved.
