This custom “One of a Kind” Humidor is made from Honduras Mahogany. The top is “Crotch” Mahogany that has been “book-matched and Butt Matched” that is why you see the Diamond "mirror image". The top is banded with MACASSAR EBONY (Diospyros celebica), which 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. Used for turned and carved items, inlays, and contemporary furniture. Ebony is so expensive; it is sold by the pound. The inlays in the front and back edges of the top are American Holly. Mahogany has long been a favorite of furniture makers for building high-end furniture. Crotch Mahogany is some the most valuable wood in the world. It is warm brown in color and because it’s “crotch” it has the most beautiful grain patterns that you will ever see. There is something about Mahogany that speaks quality and most people know and love this wood. This is some of the best looking “Crotch” Mahogany that I have ever had in my shop. It is very old, somewhere between 80 and 100 years old. The person I got it from is 75 years old and he got it from his father and he is not sure how long his dad had it. The Mahogany slab was about 2 and one half inches thick and very uneven. I believe it was a slab left over from a veneer mill. 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. Humidor is completely lined with Spanish cedar. Dividers slide in grooves to make size adjustments easy and secure. Only first quality, solid brass hinges are used. This is a very large humidor and has two full lift out trays and storage below the second tray. This Humidor will hold approximately 35 to 45 cigars. This Humidor will become a family heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation hopefully. Comes complete with a custom Humidifier and Hygrometer and a five page manual that covers how to set-up and care of your new Humidor.
Size is approx. 9 x 12 x 9 inches

Every item is made one at a time. The craftsmanship is more important than the cost..... what you buy today reflects your appreciation of quality and value for a life time.
Every Humidor that I build is built one at a time by me. There is no other person to build, sand, finish or ship but me. I control the Quality from selecting the wood to shipping. Something that I am very proud of. Every Humidor is made from selected solid stock, I use very little veneer and state so if I do. Every color you see is natural, I use no stains or dyes. This is what you will get if you own one of my Humidors.

Every thing I make gets a "Hand Rubbed Oil Finish". Between 5 to 8 coats. This is a blend of five oils that provides the best finish possible. The finish was developed for the marine environment. The base is polyurethane. This is the same finish I use on my fine Antiques. I developed the finish while I was Quality Assurance Manager with Hatteras Yachts. That was between 1965 to 1988."
