More Humi Goodness

in General Discussion
We jumped in with both feet today and milled down a bunch of wood from rough cut (and it was rough cut)..so that we can clear the path to make 'em in to humidors over the upcoming week.... Gonna have some real beauties come out of this batch... Walnut seems to be the flavor of the day... We're making a couple of Walnut humidors.... and ironically, I had two people from different sides of the country order the Wormy Maple & Walnut combination.... And just because we had the wood... we're making a Zebra Wood and Walnut.... This is gonna be a fun week.... imageimage And here's a picture of Bruce (on the right) and I (on the left) in the shop.... Bruce is my girlfriend's brother in law and we're partnering up...he's helping out a lot and will soon be building humis on his own... We were smoking an A. Fuente - Hemingway Natural that the guy from the local B&M gave us.... Excellent smoke! image

    I thought I'd do a quick post of the humidors currently on the bench... Things are a little chaotic in the shop right now... but, when the proverbial dust settles.... we should have some humidor goodness!

    First up.... Wormy American Chestnut & Walnut.... 12" x 10" x 7".... 120 Count... American Chestnut is an extinct wood... the species was wiped out by blight in the 1940's... so, this piece of wood is at least 70 years old already.... This one is going to have engraving on the inside of the lid.

    Next Up... Jataboa (Brazilian Cherry)... 20" x 14" x 12"... 480 Count...

    image

    Walnut - 16" x 12" x 7" .... 185 Count

    image

    Another Wormy Chestnut & Walnut - 16" x 12" x 7" ... 192 Count.

    This one is going to have a laser engraved image on the top and inside of the lid as well as some detail engraved along the bottom edge of the Chestnut where it meets the base...

    image

    Another Walnut... 12" x 10.5" x 6.25"... 120 Count Very nice grain in this Walnut...

    image

    And last but not least... Zebra Wood & Walnut... 16" x 12" x 9" ... 250 Count...

    image

    I will update more as they progress... perhaps separate threads... thought I'd save some time and wrap it up in to one....

    Do you ever have 1x1x4 cutoffs? I have started turning and thought that much of that wood would make great pens. Trade cigars for wood?
