Bubinga Humidor with Quilted Maple top and Bubinga inlay


I've been woodworking for about 30 years, but wanted to try to build a humidor to store some cigars. There are not many plans available online, so I designed my own. First, of course, I had to build the router table from FWW 195. Then I used some box ideas from Doug Stowe in FWW 197, and the Hot Rod Varnish of FWW 198 fame (this is an awesome finish!). The box is made from Bubinga, the top is Quilted Maple with a Bubinga inlay, and it is lined with Spanish Cedar (all materials from Woodcraft).
