Turned a few in to humidors today.... got 'em lined and the hinge work complete... all I need to do is do the tray work & finish....
A couple more are coming along... Bird's Eye Maple & Bloodwood & Tiger Maple & Cherry....
A few more laying around...but, they're just dimensioned wood, soon to become humidors... Also working on Figured Cherry & Quilted Maple, Brazilian Cherry & Ebony, Cherry... which will be completely different.... also, working on the prototype (but, I'm holding back on the pictures of that one.... sort of on purpose)...
#74 - Cocobolo
#78 - Walnut
#68 - Goncalo Alves & Macassar Ebony
#76 - Bird's Eye Maple & Bloodwood
#79 - Tiger Maple & Cherry
I'm having a dimensioning wood party this weekend.... lots of cutting and lots of gluing.... they'll come together quick after this.... I have another table over in the corner that looks almost as bad (or good) as this....
I had a request to build a humidor for the Commanding General of tghe US Africa Command.... sort of put under the gun on this one - has to be in Washington DC by Wednesday to catch a ride to Africa.... The General is retiring on March 7th.... The wood is all African Wood... Sapele is the dark wood & Movingui is the lighter wood.... I will be putting ebony splines in there tomorrow and pretty much finish her up.... It's kind of cool, I get to put a pin on my map for Africa now.... Got all the continents except Australia & Antartica... Watch Out Tashaz.....!!!
PS: It's amazing what a fella can get done if he don't have to work at his day job....

Another one rolled off the bench today.... It sure is nice to be in the wood shop all day... Will be getting more and more done.... Even cleaned up the shop this morning....
Cherry with a touch of Bird's Eye Maple & for the lid - Quilted Maple with it's heartwood exposed... Fell right in to place and beating loudly!!!

I can't say who this is going to.... all I can say is that somebody has a very thoughtful gal standing beside him....
