Hello everyone. This is a humidor I built for a fellow cigar enthusiast. It's made of the finest Koa I've ever laid eyes on, Tiger Maple and Walnut. The finish was applied using the method I read about in the latest issue of Fine WoodWorking. It has a total of 10 coats of lacquer. It was sanded through the grits and blocked out like the article explains. I achieved fantastic results. Thank you FWW.
