A while back I posted pics of a computer drawing of a prototype that I planned to build... it was inspired by the Monte Cristo 75th Anniversary humidor....

I've been dabbling with it for about 6 months now.... I even had to start over once because what I thought would work.... didn't.... I've been waiting for an order of wood to come in.... and made some pretty good progress....

Well.... she's all dry fit now and ready to assemble... I have all the spanish cedar cut and dimensioned for a quick fit.... The lid in the picture needs some attention, but - that will be the easy part....

I have two of these going at the moment.... One is going to Canada to a member here, the other is open at the moment. The third picture has a coffee pot for scale.... this thing is huge! 27" x 13" x 19"..... She should be coming off the bench soon...







Here's the computer drawings....

Holly Cow! that is amazing! How much for something like that. That is the next set after you build what every you are doing for me now.

Can you do something like that with temp control?

You are at the for front as always.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Speaking as a fellow woodworker I must say that your work is of very high quality. You possess a keen attention to detail and an eye for style.

Did you use that old wood on the top?

That is huge and a great piece. I can not stop looking at it.

Not yet.... but it's going up there. It needs to be milled down and should look very much like the rest of the Walnut....

I'm glad you like her.... I'm making two!

I sure this will be a new request from you from many people on here.

OK... I can breathe again.... a little something different. It's always a little harrowing putting sharp steel to wood.... especially when the tolerance is a hair under 1/16".... lol

Waiting for the lid to come back from the engraver in Atlanta.... sand her down a bit more mount the hardware... and she'll be done.

Looking real good...

well, I figured it was time to get on the train before Ed gets too famous for his own good.
I thought HARD about getting the LSU edition, Purpleheart with a gold-er yellow wood for the
gold in Purple and Gold, but I thought maybe you don't tell an artist how to create his art. I told
Ed to make me a work of art, then on the phone basically told him how to do it, lol. I suck. I do
have to say though, that I think this is the time to strike on a Ed-idor. The pictures keep getting
better and better, and pretty soon he won't be able to answer the phone anymore. I want to get mine
done before he gets overwhelmed, if that's possible. And it always is. I have asked for a few things that
have less to do with Ed's art, and that is to have honduran mahogany as my preservative lining as
opposed to Spanish Cedar. I just like it better. I also could not stand it if there was no lacewood on there.
That stuff is just un-describable. And like I said, other than that, I said 'surprise me', lol. I had asked to
have him just make his art, and then he mentioned a wood I didn't like as much, and it all fell comically down,
my grand plan, haha. I say get em while you can, babys.

Amazing work.

This post is a little off topic, but not really....

My good friend, Jerry Hewett, the fellow who does all of my laser engraving.... well, his wife passed away on Thursday and he asked me to make a cremation urn for two for her and him.. hopefully he won't be joining her soon....

This needed to be done and in his hands before this coming Thursday so it can be present for the memorial service.... Plus, Jerry plans on laser engraving a photograph image of his wife and himself on the lid.....

I burned a bit of midnight oil in order to get this done for my friend... but, I'm pleased at how it turned out....

It is made from some very old Cherry.... I'm told that it is about 100 years old, Cocobolo & Movungui on the lid.... Lined with Mahogony.....





And here's a picture of the bottom.....

It's beautiful. I'm sure he will cherish it for the rest of his life.
