My Humi Construction

How did you get the purple in the middle?
Or is that some super exotic wood?

The colors look very nice -
and I bet will look better when your fnished.

Good luck.

It will be something to be proud of when you're finished Dave. I can't wait to see it when you get it completed!! I bet it's gonna be awesome!!!
 
The purple is exotic wood...purple heart wood. It can 3" wide and 24" long; I cut it into stripes, routered a groove and glued it down, called inlay.
Got 2 pics of progress, these show lap joints cut with a router....top & bottom are lapped 4 sides; front & back just the ends. Waiting for more wood to cut new sides.....will post more later.

Dave that looks like it’s going to be a pretty big humidor. How many cigars do you think it will hold? I’m sure it won’t hold them very long the way you like to bomb!! :r Thanks for the pictures. :ss
 
Incredible looking wood. Will be following your progress on this. The Purple heartwood looks spectacular!:ss
 
A few more pics....after glue it together last night, today I made the cut for the lid. The 2 long cuts made first; shims where placed into these cuts and masking tape added to hold it together when the end cuts are made. End cuts done, and now it has a lid. As I post this, the whole box is drying from a coat of Min-wax Special Walnut stain. More pics as they become available.

Looking good Dave!!! I really like the color. I've always loved walnut! That's gonna be a sweet piece when you get her done!! WTG!
 
After sanding , applying a coat of Special Walnut stain, I now have 4 coats of gloss varithane on her. Not sure if I'll do any more yet, if not I can start lining and adding some hardware.....more pics tomorrow.
 
Wow, that's really coming along nice! Can't wait to see more of the journey and the destination!
