#48 Build - Ambrosia Maple & Quilted Maple Humidor

WaxingMoon · 09-15-2010, 05:54 PM

I spent the last couple of days milling and dimensioning the wood.... time consuming and really not much to take pictures of.... This will be the front of the humidor.... Base Molding is Quilted Maple and the main body is the Ambrosia Maple....

Ambrosia Maple is so called because the Maple tree was infested with Ambrosia Beetles.... and the stains that you see are the result of the tree's reaction to them... Yo can see the "worm holes" in each of the stains... This wood is prized in the wood working arena for it's uniqueness....

Oh...and then there's the quilted maple.... All I can say is I can't wait to make the lid!!!
