Wow, very nice!

Bob's wood has been building for over three months. Shouldn't the doctor get involved by now?

Hey Bob, have you ever made a humidor before? Any size.

[bobditts]

I have not. but Im sure I could figure it out. The net is full of great info.

I like the way you think.

So I had a mishap with the original box lid. When I was screwing in the hinges, I discovered the screws were about 1/16" too long and they poked through the top. Ended up making a new lid with a fresh piece of purple heart which led to the color mismatch. Either way, it turned out nice.

Damn, that looks awesome. I really love the figure of the walnut you chose. How did you get the curvature on the handles? How do you like the final finish of tung oil?

Here are a couple pictures of some of this year's Christmas ornaments.

First up is a variety of 3" diameter ornaments made using black walnut and maple.


Next up is a 3d ornament made out of maple. This guy is a bit more complicated and definitely more time consuming. Turned out to be a cool piece though.
