I do like the low, wide shape of that one. I prefer that for desktops over the more cube like shapes, not sure why, just seems classy like it should be sitting beside a decanter of scotch and a many leather bound books.

I am inclined to agree. I like a desktop that is what it should be...a place to put smokes that are in imminent
danger of being SMOKED. I strongly believe in coolers or other mass storage devices for your actual stash.
So a real desktop should hold 50 or less smokes. BUT, being as this is basically a jewelry box, it is kind of sad
seeing that big ol slab of spanish cedar in there, although I know it HAS to be there for it to properly function.
But I agree, a desktop should be low-slung and elegant, not a big monument.

Nice, I was just thinking about how I almost never go underneath my top trays in my desktops. This new low model is pretty slick.

WaxingMoon · 05-20-2011, 04:08 PM

...Another one for the "Folly Rocks Collection".... She's starting to look like something now, so here's a sneak peek.

My client had some ideas on what he wanted.... He wanted THICK ebony matched up with Bird's Eye Maple.... And a drawer.... but, he didn't want the drawer to be obvious in the ebony.... didn't want to ruin the classic ebony look with a drawer cut in the middle of it..... So.... got the old grey matter working on this one....

Here's a picture of the base.... looking at it from the front. Yep, the bottom panel is a drawer.

The top has a groove routed in it....waiting for a cigar band trim... And, we're going to go with a two way mirror for the glass center.... You'll be able to see the cigars when she's closed... and then when you open it, you'll see their reflection!

That.... coupled with the blacker than black, hand forged hinges, handles & lock.... this ought to turn out to be a pretty bad ass looking humidor (with any luck)!!!

Kinky_yk · 05-20-2011, 05:12 PM

I think the cigar band trim around the glass will look great, give it some colour and a different look, the two way mirror is another great idea, I'm really interested to see this one finished.

That drawer is sick!!!

4 more days and I will receive my beast!.

longknocker · 05-24-2011, 04:05 AM

Great Idea, Ed!

WaxingMoon · 05-24-2011, 02:50 PM

This (unclaimed) one isn't done yet... but I just had to show the wood.... This is Ambrosia Maple & Curly Walnut.... I'm calling it "The Storm".....

I like the knot on the left side.... it looks like a bullet and then the curl on the walnut looks like the shock waves.... I've had that piece of wood laying around the shop for a couple years.... knowing it would look good with something.... Whatcha Think?

Sancho Fuente · 05-24-2011, 03:46 PM

^ The grain on that lid is amazing!

MedicCook · 05-24-2011, 07:35 PM

That is a great looking humi.

I think I'm very tempted to claim it.

WaxingMoon · 05-26-2011, 05:49 PM

You can see where I silicone sealed the seams to keep the front "accessory" compartment from leaking out the humidity...

Gotta love the lid!

Kinky_yk · 05-24-2011, 04:17 PM

Wow, what a great piece of wood, and an excellent design choice to show it off too.

OldDirty · 05-26-2011, 07:49 PM

It looks badass Ed!

I can't wait to get her and start filling her up

05-28-2011, 10:14 AM

Mr. Ed, you do some amazing work!!

05-28-2011, 10:20 AM

That thing is amazing. I know I can't afford it, but I have to ask. Are we talking $2000+, $4000+, $6000+...

I know it's a good investment.

Send Ed A PM. His Prices Are Very Reasonable!

05-28-2011, 02:10 PM

Received my Humi from ED. I will post pictures up this weekend. I will have to wait to get the humidity set in her as I will be buying beads and a remote humidity gauge with 2 to 3 sensors.

This thing is huge! Thanks Ed for getting her out to me and the great packaging.
