Daily Cigar

As I wrote earlier (meaning like a year ago ;-), once I’d been gifted a box of Fonsecas, I had to find someplace to put them. When you combine that with some upcoming woodworking projects for my daughter, I had a great excuse and a great practice project rolled into one. I built this humidor back in June of last year and photographed it as soon as I filled it. I’ve been meaning to put up pictures of it ever since. These are not so great, but I know if I wait until I have a chance to take better ones it’ll be another year.

I made it out of maple and cherry, with a spanish cedar interior. I finger jointed the corners, and it ended up pretty bomb-proof. What it needs is a good couple of coats of varnish over the thin oil coat I gave it to make it nice and tight as far as humidity goes. It’s a bit leaky right now.
