The MKII Humidor
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This is the projects entry for the construction blog I finished earlier.Called the MKII because it is the second version with some refinements (and de-finements) from the first version based on an older article by Rick AllynThe Basics 13.5”W x 6”H x 10”D Spanish cedar sides and lining Marble walnut veneer Jatoba and walnut trim. Brusso quadrant hinges. Boveda Humidity control packet holder. Mohawk satin pre-cat lacquer. Holds about 75 cigars.I made the first version following the plans as I wanted to get a feel for all the construction requirements for a humidor versus a plain box. I learned a few things but the box, although considered “traditional”, was a bit lacking in details for my questionable tastes 8^)With this version I added some of those details. Still a ways to go before I create “The One”, but better than the first!Constructed with solid Spanish cedar and lock-miter corners (improvement over the plans calling for lap joints).Veneered with a walnut called “marble walnut” which I had never heard of before, but easy to see the names source (looks like marble cake). It seems to be an odd arrangement of heart/sap woods.The interior has an additional 3/16” cedar lining (raw wood).I added some corner caps and lid lining… and of course some splines for the upper/lower frame corners The blog hopefully spells out any details, but feel free to question/comment!
