Cocobolo Humidor

[Halfcaff]

I had some spare pieces of cocobolo I was trying to find something to do with so I came up with this. I made the frame with the spare pieces and then bought some beautiful cocobolo for the top. It is lined with Spanish cedar. It seals amazingly and holds the perfect 70% humidity for the cigars. It will hold around 25-30 cigars. I sanded it down to about 400 and then finished it with wipe-on poly. After plenty of coats of that I used some renaissance wax to put the final polish on it. I want to build a larger one now! Thanks for looking and any comments

Big cocobolo fan and that turned out great. What does the hardware cost (roughly?) Very nice work.....

Thanks everyone. The cost of the hardware was not too great. The barrel hinges were about $10 each and came from WC. The hydrometer was $8 and came from R. The humidification device (which is filled with little absorbent beads) was $8 and came from a local cigar shop. So cost of hardware was around $40.

The barrel hinges were nice. You just drill a hole. I have used other types of hinges on humidors but I like these the best.

I also made a pen out of the bit of wood left from the top. It is a navigator finished with CA and micro mesh.
