Thanks! I first was contemplating getting a Montecristo 75th anniversary humidor but when I saw Ed's design of the prototype I was put back on how nice it was. We talked abit and I went ahead and ordered one. He sure is doing a good job building it

Damn I wonder how many that huge cabinet is going to hold. 1,500? 2,000?

Each drawer should hold 84 Toros.... so, 840... That is if you wanted 10 drawers.... maybe you'd only want one side with drawers and the other side open for box storage.... It's wide open!

Plus...the drawer on the front can hold a cutter, lighter, bottle of scotch.... or whatever you might want.... And then, directly behind that is the humidification with an access door, just like the one on the front, for the humidification....

Bill: According To Ed: "840" Beautiful !

When I first saw the design my interest was spiked also. His work and humidors are amazing. I cannot wait to see it filled up. Is the plan to put shelves, drawers, or both in the slots?

It's been a while since I've posted....but will be having a few coming off the bench within the next couple of days.... I built out trays for 5 of them today... just a little clean up on 'em and they'll be ready.... Some interesting combinations coming up....

Been working on this one as well... she's not quite done, but close enough... I'll post again after she's lacquered up.... Just got a little exited...

Bird's Eye Maple & Gabon Ebony.... 30" x 14" x 10" for about 550 count.....

Did a few different things with this one.... She has a hidden accessory drawer, elevated legs, Two Way Mirror for the lid...which offers pretty cool reflection of your stogies when ya open it up.... surrounded by an inlay of cigar bands.... Wrought iron handles & a lock.... phew... glad she's about done!

Drez · 06-16-2011, 03:14 PM

that is very very nice ed. i love the mirror and inlay!!! great work as always!!!

Ranger_B · 06-16-2011, 03:58 PM

Ed that is a thing of beauty. Wow that ebony really makes the maple pop.

Kinky_yk · 06-16-2011, 05:02 PM

wow, I knew this one was going to be great when you posted progress pics a while back. The mirror is a really great feature.

WaxingMoon · 06-17-2011, 04:20 PM

A few more off the bench today....

Lacewood....

17" x 12" x 7"
200 Count
2 Full Trays & Two Half Trays....

WaxingMoon · 06-17-2011, 04:22 PM

Walnut

20x12x9
300 Count
Two Full Trays
Two Half Trays
Crumb Catcher & Two Bead Trays

That spot on the front in the first picture is just the light playing tricks with some of the curl.... it looks great in person!

WaxingMoon · 06-17-2011, 04:25 PM

Walnut & Cocobolo

11.75 x 9.5 x 6
95 Count
Crumb Catcher & Full Tray

WaxingMoon · 06-17-2011, 04:29 PM

Lignum Vitae (Tree of Life) & Brazilian Ebony...

15x10x6.5
130 Count
Two Half Trays
Bead Tray

This wood is probably the most expensive I've worked with.... It is the densest wood on the market. It will turn a turquoise greenish color and the brazilian ebony will get to nearly black..... No finish at all on it... just natural

It has maritime connections - and the BOTL that ordered happened to be in Charleston on the day it finiished.... He's a yacht captain for somebody... that's why he wanted the Lignum Vitae.... Cool Stuff! Picture myself and the Dan, the BOTL who ordered... I'm the guy on the left.

WaxingMoon · 06-17-2011, 04:32 PM

Scott's Humi!!!

18x12x9
275 Count
Crumb Catcher,
Bead Tray
Four Half Trays....

She's a sweetheart!

You are talented Ed!

Fordman4ever · 06-17-2011, 05:45 PM

It amazes me every time I visit this thread. I will own one of these one day.

alexa071 · 06-18-2011, 05:58 AM

Those are some beautiful Humidors Ed! I think my favorite is the lacewood and quilted on the bottom shelf of the desk in the picture with you and Dan. That lignum vitae looks like a crazy wood too. It seems to change color depending on the angle and light.

More Humidors OFF the bench means more room for mine to go ON the bench... Can't wait!!

WaxingMoon · 06-18-2011, 02:47 PM

Where's Waldo!

This humidor is for Ranger_B... winner of the "Support the Troop" raffle.... he wanted a cigar band lid...and sent me the bands.... took a few hours this morning and pieced 'em together....

Oh yeah, I cleaned that smudge off my camera lens that is evident in the top right of the pics.... lol

OldDirty · 06-19-2011, 03:52 PM

You've been a busy man!

WaxingMoon · 06-21-2011, 02:53 PM

Did a lot of wood cutting in the shop today.... and took a little break and had fun making these little videos....

Humidor

Seal Test

Probably jumped the gun a bit... cuz she isn't quite finished... but, what the hell, I had fun doing it....
