Waxing Moon Humidor Thread - Page 15

Stunning... this is exactly why I chose to have you build me a custom humidor Ed. I spent some time perusing your website and saw the flag boxes you built for 9/11 victims and you clearly possess not just immense artistic abilities but also a huge heart. What an honor for your friend to choose you to build he and his wife's final resting place and what a great friend you are to take up that task and do it brilliantly.

WaxingMoon · 04-03-2011, 08:23 AM

Finished up a few.... and knee deep in a few more.... but, here's what rolled off the bench this weekend...

Walnut
320mm x 190mm x 82mm... lol (Going to New Zeland and that's how he gave the dims to me)....
120 Count

WaxingMoon · 04-03-2011, 08:27 AM

This is a sweet box....

Curly Maple & Cherry
10.25" x 8.75" x 6.5"
80 Count

WaxingMoon · 04-03-2011, 08:31 AM

This is a humi for a soldier currently in Afghanistan.....

Cherry & Gabon Ebony
18" x 13" x 8"
267 Count
I went with the coved lid detail so I didn't have to bevel off and throw away too much of that ebony!

WaxingMoon · 04-03-2011, 08:34 AM

....and Finally....

Old Growth Cherry (this cherry is over 100 years old)
20" x 12" x 8"
275 Count

The BOTL who this belongs is a photographer and that is his logo burned in to the lid...

man, I want a custom humidor but after getting an Aristocrat I don't think the "queen" will approve lol

alexa071 · 04-03-2011, 10:10 PM

Those Humis are BEAUTIFUL! That ebony is so rich... just awesome. I'm a patient man... I really am. Still, I can't WAIT to start seeing my humidor come together! I know that each one of these that rolls off the line brings mine one step closer to reality.

Great work Ed!

Being a bit of a craftmen myself, I admire your skills and all the thought going into matching the different species.

I build custom HiEnd speakers for a hobby, always thought about building a few humidors.

these never make it past the WAF. explains why I single and 52............

Just seen a picture Ed sent to my wife of the Humidor he has built me.

Wow!!!!!! It is big!!!!!!

The picture looks to show the Humidor unfinished and only give the front view. I can not wait till it comes in.

Ed, post some pics here please!!!!!

This one has an accessory drawer... a first for the Waxing Moon humidors.... and I am happy with the way it turned out...

Pics tomorrow..... (Hopefully)
