Spanish Cedar Humidor
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Ed PirnikWhile visiting family in Cuba, Pirnik bought some paintings at an art fair, and he also bought unassembled frames for them. Upon his return, he realized the frames were Spanish cedar, grown on the island. The woodworker in him knew the best use of wood from cigar country was not in a frame, but rather to line a humidor. The rest of the box is Honduran mahogany with rosewood veneer and wenge and holly edgebanding. It is 9 in. deep by 1-1/2-in. wide by 5 in. tall, sealed with shellac and finished with lacquer and wax. from Fine Woodworking #221

I have a question for Rick Allyn, author of how to Spanish Cedar Humidor. I want to build a very similar humidor but using 1/8 inch thick mesquite veneer on 9/16" Spanish cedar. How can I do the box joinery to get corners with mesquite veneer that show only the mesquite, at corners with slight rounding of corners? Don Hofer, [email protected]
