    Turned a few in to humidors today.... got 'em lined and the hinge work complete... all I need to do is do the tray work & finish....

    A couple more are coming along... Bird's Eye Maple & Bloodwood & Tiger Maple & Cherry....

    A few more laying around...but, they're just dimensioned wood, soon to become humidors... Also working on Figured Cherry & Quilted Maple, Brazilian Cherry & Ebony, Cherry... which will be completely different.... also, working on the prototype (but, I'm holding back on the pictures of that one.... sort of on purpose)...

    Time to get serious....

    I'm having a dimensioning wood party this weekend.... lots of cutting and lots of gluing.... they'll come together quick after this.... I have another table over in the corner that looks almost as bad (or good) as this....

    I had a request to build a humidor for the Commanding General of tghe US Africa Command.... sort of put under the gun on this one - has to be in Washington DC by Wednesday to catch a ride to Africa.... The General is retiring on March 7th.... The wood is all African Wood... Sapele is the dark wood & Movingui is the lighter wood.... I will be putting ebony splines in there tomorrow and pretty much finish her up.... It's kind of cool, I get to put a pin on my map for Africa now.... Got all the continents except Australia & Antartica... Watch Out Tashaz.....!!!
