Converting Gun Cabinet to Humidor

OHRD · 01-05-2010, 08:08 AM

So I picked up the two gun cabinets yesterday. One was made of particle board so I dropped it off at the Pawn Shop and got $50 bucks--score!!!

The other one is a very nice wood, maybe maple? It is double doored with some nice looking glass and 4 drawers beneath. It looks like the seal b/w the upper and lower drawer area is tight w/ no vents so that is a good thing. The back piece of the wood, that the gun racks are mounted too is not wood, but that particle type stuff you see on the back of furniture, stapled on. I assume I'll need to replace this w/ a thin sheet on wood?

Now, on to ordering some spanish cedar; anyone else have some ideas for this? And should I get like a glue adhesive and tack it down w/?

I've used Woodcraft for ordering spanish cedar and been quite happy with them.

Looking forward to updates.
