Just had to share... I'm having a humidor made by Ed at Waxingmoon humidors. He sent me a picture of the board of Quilted Maple that my humidor is going to be made of. I'm showing it off like a wallet full of baby pictures! It still needs some work this is a picture of it in it's completely rough cut form... Ed is filling knots with epoxy and said he should be splitting it soon to bookmatch it for the sides of the humidor.

Come on now... I don't have too many posts here but I've been around long enough to know not to post empty humidor pictures. Rest assured that the final product will be pictured with at least a few sticks in it!

I saw E.T. in the leftmost knot... I suppose I could get a ladies face out of it too. I had a discussion with Ed about the rightmost knot too... I thought it kind of looked like a dick. He said if he can he'll cut it out or if not it will go on the back. Either way he's filling it with epoxy and splitting the boards. I assume that the inside will become the outside of the humidor so it will probably look quite different when it's done.

Ed got the board split and sectioned out into the four sides. I suppose you could call this a kindergarten graduation picture. The activity going on in the quilt of this board is CRAZY! Here's pictures of the boards with the most charachter. Ed is going to put these on the front and the left.

Here's the board going on the left side:

And here's the board going on the front. At first glance it seems kind of messy. Once you start looking at the details in it there is a LOT of really awesome quilting and charachter. Also... this isn't finished yet... no sanding, no oil and no finish. I can't WAIT to see what this looks like finished!

HUGE thanks to Ed at Waxingmoon Humidors for keeping me in the loop on the process! He makes it a ton of fun by sending me updates as things progress.
