I have seen the plans for the humi and it will be very very nice!!!

I need to make a build thread for mine

Any updates on this? I'm looking for ideas for my own humidor.

The figuring on that cocobolo looks fantastic. That's a pretty box...and I don't just say that to all the girls.

Go ahead and try and fill it...they will just fall out of the bottom...or lack there of.

It would be nice to have a truly bottomless humidor that also kept RH. One can fantasize..

And the top...not polished yet and not laquered yet. The top is walnut and has been ebonized.

DPD6030 · 12-11-2011, 02:50 PM

Just got an email. This ships out Wednesday

"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".

LOL, we used to "ebonize" wood at Palmer Johnson Yachts with jumbo black sharpies!

Yes sir! I can't wait to see the finished product with it all polished and assembled. The Spanish cedar gets installed this week or next...or so my builder says.
