Cabinet Humidor Build

Beautiful work. If you don't mind me asking, what finish did you go with for the Wenge?

I asked a shave-brush maker to turn a brush handle out of Wenge about a year ago. He has quite a bit of trouble getting it to take the high-gloss CA finish. He suggested tungoil but it wasn't the look/feel I was looking for in a shave brush. I'm sure it would work fine for other purposes. Eventually I found a suggestion to heat up the first coat or two of CA with a torch. This allowed air bubbles trapped by the pores to thin out or escape. He tried it and it worked perfectly. I was just curious of your solution as I love the looke of Wenge. It's gorgeous.

Here's a couple pics (not embedded as it's a bit off topic).
