something i'm working on
 

Ok i joined just the other day and have been looking through the forum constantly. Now I figured why not show you my little Humidor project. This bedside cabinet was in the attic it was my wifes and she decided to paint it some time ago before i met her. It started out as just something for me to tinker with strip it down see what we got and restain well come to find out its walnut and I have a desire for a actual humidor so as you can see in the pic's i have started stripping it down. I figured i will line the inside with cedar and pick up some cedar trays. I have a few ideas on how I want to make the doors seal up we'll see if it works out it is pretty sturdy also.

Heres the cabinet without the doors or the top

I think this is the right section to post this if not I apologize

Re: something i'm working on
 

I'll move this to the Accessory Forum as that's where most humidor stuff is located. (It certainly not Cigar Discussion related)

Re: something i'm working on
 

Good luck with your sanding Erick. Welcome to Cigar Asylum it's a great place to hang out and chat about cee-gars and what not.

Re: something i'm working on
 

Thanks it gives me something to do while i'm out in the garage smoking
I'm really glad i invested in a wood burner this year makes the garage a nice balmy 60 degrees when i want to smoke this time of year

Welcome aboard! Cant wait to see the final results of your project. :banger

Re: something i'm working on
 

Looks like it's going to be nice. Can't wait to see it finished!

Re: something i'm working on
 

Yeah it was probably nice before it got painted also it seems the top had a dark stain around the border and the center was the same color as the rest of it I'm going to try and replicate that a little when i refinish it

Well back out to the garage i'll bring the camera with me


Thanks for the kind words guys

Ok well i have most of it sanded now. I'll have to get some fresh pic's tomorrow when i'm out in the garage. the sides are a lot more beat up than i thought i might have to replace or veneer the side there are quite a few chipped edges. So we'll see

Re: something i'm working on
 

And here it is all finished up stained and cedar lined. As you can see i didn't go with a nice showroom shine finish. The wood was rough and had a lot of knicks i did'nt want to loose that character it has so i left it with a dull finish
