yeah im very happy that i can continue with this project, and i have that the new wood suppliers are very helpful and a joy to work with. I will be using a Brazilian cedar i believe, its basicaly Spanish cedar grown in Brazil, its what the guy at the wood suppliers recomended for lining a humidor so it shoudl be great. I've spent the last couple of days working on getting all the paper work side of the project together, and i am now looking and different finishes and finishing styles. After looking at the thread with pictures of you humidors in it i have i think decided to do a checker board venner finish in two woods , and that will either be french polished (lots of work) or waxed. Any thoughts or ideas on this?
edit: one question i forgot about, my humidor will be made up with a lining of Brazilian cedar and than 3 mill ply and they the veneer, do i need to treat the side of the ply that comes into contact with the cedar to stop it taking on moisture and possibly warping, say with a finishing resin or varnish, or will it be ok left untreated?
Once again thanks for all your help
