Beautiful. A true work of art!

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

I enjoy seeing all your work. Fantastic. I have some teak pieces that are large enough to make a fair sized desk top humi and have been hesitant because of the strong smell. Is that something that you had to remedy in any way like using a special sealing method or just ensuring a good seal with the liner? Always a treat to see new pieces you post. Keep up that great work.

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

Thank you.... If the seal on the liner is good, there should be no effect from the woods used on the outside.....

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

Absolutely exquisite. I've built a humi with Kauri and Teak as well. Beautiful choice of woods. Excellent execution as well.

Gorgeous Work, My Friend!:tu

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

Is Kauri even harvested? I have a couple of bowls of Huon Pine I bought in Tasmania. Live trees are now protected and I believe the only wood available is that which is discovered in the ground and dug up. I saw a story on Kauri (History channel maybe ??) - the logs are monstrous.

Nice work.

Another beauty Ed :tu

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

The deal with Kauri is basically the same as the Huon Pine across the ditch is Tasmania. Kauri is an endangered species and therefore cannot be harvested, however ancient (ie. bog) kauri is fair game since it's all well and truly dead already. There are several companies on the North Island up around Russell, KeriKeri and 90 Mile Beach that all specialize in extracting ancient kauri stumps and trees from farmers fields.

Absolutely beautiful wood, it has an amazing iridescent quality to it when finished that's almost impossible to capture on camera!!

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

Wow! What a beautiful piece of art.

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

I love the simplicity of this one.

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

Very nice work Ed.

I have a stupid question though, which wood is which?

Re: Teak & Ancient Kauri Humidor
 

Holy Chit Ed, that is beautiful!!
