Waxing Moon Humidor Thread - Page 18

I have an awful lot going on the shop at the moment.... I should have a lot of pictures coming soon... one at a time....

This one is Movingui and Cocobolo... Movingui is the same wood that I'm building the troop humidor. Although she's not quite finished... I couldn't resist putting it up here...

This was strongly influenced by my girlfriend... and when that happens, we add it to what we call the "Folly Rocks Collection"... long story, but, we like it...

Like the one in the lower far right of your last picture in post 364?

Not sure... I guess it would depend on the type of wood.... But, it would be doable.....

The pattern on that lid is sick!

Fordman4ever · 05-08-2011, 12:20 AM

OOhhh...mahogany. She'll like that.
You didn't tell me I could have glued up contrasting blocks for my lid.
That pattern was bad-a$$.

Well...actually I DO have glued up wood blocks on my lid.

WaxingMoon · 05-09-2011, 04:45 PM

Most of these should be coming off the bench during the upcoming week... I'm all set to line and hinge out 4 or 5 of 'em tomorrow.....

Here's what's going on the bench at the moment... I still have two of the prototypes in the wings, one near completion, the other in assembly phase and 3 or 4 jewelry boxes (matching humis) as well.... It feels good to be busy! Thank you all!!!

l to r

Movingui & Bloodwood ~ Cherry & Bird's Eye Maple ~ Lacewood w/Ebony Splines

Lacewood & Brazilian Cherry with a touch of Macassar Ebony...

African Mahogany & Ebony (gonna have cigar band lid) ~ Makore & Macassar Ebony

Bird's Eye Maple & Gabon Ebony.... this is going to have a combination cigar band & glass lid... you can see the "trough that the bands will go... plus there will be some other "goodies" added on to this one... more pieces to her laying about the shop....

Lacewood & Old Growth Bloodwood.... if you compare this bloodwood to the bloodwood in the first photo... you'll see what the difference is...

05-09-2011, 08:04 PM

I'll PM you my address so that you know where to send that Makore & Macassar Ebony.

I LOOOOVE the look of it.

I like making cigar band lids.... Somebody on this forum actually smoked all these.... and it wasn't me.... About 50/50 CC's & other... but, they're all top notch!

WaxingMoon · 05-14-2011, 04:59 PM

I have a few rolling off.....

OLS's is just about done.... just need to put the finish on it.... but she's looking good! This one is Mahogany Lined!

This little gem is 12" x 9" x 6" and is African Mahogany.... She's available...

WaxingMoon · 05-14-2011, 05:00 PM

And this one is finished up and off the bench and in the hands of the new owner....

OLS · 05-14-2011, 05:16 PM

If you recall, I was too cheap to have a finish applied and we quoted it out.

Thaplumbr · 05-14-2011, 08:38 PM

Gorgeous work

mfarre03 · 05-18-2011, 05:18 AM

WOW, so do I, how many sticks will the checkered one hold? Beautiful, looks pretty complex.

WaxingMoon · 05-19-2011, 05:28 PM

I have a lot going on in the shop.... I will have about 4 coming off, hopefully tomorrow and I'm working on a couple of checkerboard lids for the prototypes.... Spent most of the day working with spanish cedar.... a lot of cutting and gluing going on... trays, trays and more trays.....

I also have a few jewelry boxes in the wings... and I had made an extra.. and my girlfriend asked me why couldn't I make a humidor out of one... I've always liked this jewelry box and I pretty much discounted ever making it in to a humidor because the lid wasn't what I was use to, and... I guess I just didn't think through it enough....

So... after playing around a little bit... I have another smaller desktop to add to the mix... This will be part of the "Folly Rocks Collection"...

It's 15-1/2" x 8-1/2" x about 3-1/2" high... 4-1/2 if you count the tip top of the beveled lid.....

Humidor interior dimensions are 13-1/2" x 6-1/2" x 2".... I loaded it up and in the photos where they are lying horizontal, I got 30 cigars - some long, some shorts.... in the photo where they are vertical, I got 32. Plus a bead stick in both....

The wood is Primavera & Goncalo Alves

Tight little box!

Anyways.... whatcha think?

She's for sale!
