These are A few Humidors and ashtrays I've been doing. The legs of these humidors are done using the Domino and the whole thing is sanded with the ETS150.

WOW, Bill.  As always for you, exquisitely beautiful designs, selection of woods, construction and finishes!!

Yep all I can say is Arturo Fuente Petit Corona  ;D

OK on that third square box, the one that's all trippin' with the outrageous gnarly curly figured Bubinga ? with some AAA quilted maple ? and then some primo mellow burl of sorts ... Swaeeet. That would go well in a head shop  :o

And finally on the last tray .. those 3 black rings ? Gouged and burned or inked for color ? Say in ain't ebony inlays  ::)
 
I have done ebony that way but these are burned with A wire. Glad you like them. The one with the Bubinga is my personal Humidor. ;D The illusive Arturo Fuente Forbidden-X or any Opus-X. ;D Nuf said. ;D ;D (Wish I had a Forbiden-X)
 
Always fantastic , as usual Bill!

I wish I could get commissions for stuff like that, I could never find time otherwise to make any boxes at all.

You have mastered the box and they get better every time I see a new piece.

Sweet little wood hinges.
 
Boy, you do nice work Bill!  It's something for me to aspire to some day (but that day is still a long way off).
 
Thanks you guys very much. The only one I have left is the Bubinga/quilted Maple one. I'll take A pic tonight but it's full of cigars. ;D
 
Bill is that a wood dowel in the wood hinges or a piece of brass?

How about some pictures of how you made those hinges? So cool!

Really gorgeous, Bill!

They almost make me want to start smoking again...

Bill,

Beautiful stuff.  I am so glad I looked and thanks to you for the postings.  It makes me want to start smoking again.  But then I wouldn't want to use your boxes or ashtrays because they are too nice to use...

Catch 22!

I use A brass pin. Check in my Gallery. i think I posted the hinges there.
 
Wow Bill

Your attention to detail is phenomenal. I too really like the Bubinga and Quilted Maple humidor.

Did you make your own banding?

What kind of finish are you using?

Dan Clermont
 
Thanks guys. The finish is hand rubbed Tung oil. The 4 post curve top humidor has 4 domino's per corner. Should last generations. These are quite fun to build. ;D
