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!
