This custom "One of a Kind" Humidor is made Goncalo Alves (Astronium, spp) also known as Tigerwood is boldly striped specie which has an orangish/reddish brown background with wide dark brownish black striping. Found in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. Tigerwood, as the name suggests, is specie which exhibits a wide range of color/striping. The striping can vary from fine lines to bold, brush strokes. The background color can range from light tans to darker orange browns. Tigerwood exhibits a large degree of color change with a pronounced darkening of the background under the stripes from an orangey tan to a deep reddish brown color, which then in turn makes the striping less contrasting and more subtle. This one of the hardest woods you will find. Tigerwood is 170% as hard as red oak (2160 on the Janka scale vs. 1260 for red oak). The top has been "book-matched, that is why you see the "mirror image". The inlays on front and back edges are Ebony. Ebony, MACASSAR EBONY (Diospyros celebica) is one of a group of ebonies from the East Indies, ranging from Sri Lanka to Indonesia. This close- grained, heavy hardwood machines and turns well, but tends to dull tools and is difficult to glue. Ebony is used for turned and carved items, inlays and small accent pieces. This wood is so expensive, that they sell it by the pound. This Chest was build so the grain "wraps" around the Chest and matches on all four corners, matching three is easy, but matching four took me a long time to figure out. This is a unique "One-of-a-Kind Humidor" signed and dated. Airtight lid will not "bang" when closed. All my Humidors get 6 to 8 coats of polyurethane oil finish that is "Hand Rubbed" to give them the best finish possible. Completely lined with Spanish Cedar. Dividers slide in grooves to make size adjustments easy and secure. Only first quality, solid brass hinges and stays are used. This is a large size humidor and has a full lift out tray with storage in the bottom and will hold 35 to 45 cigars. Humidor comes complete with a custom Humidifier and Hygrometer.
