I'm debating a design for a humidor for a friend for Christmas. I have made several boxes but not a humidor. I have the cedar for the inside and planned to use veneer grade walnut for the exterior and maybe some edge banding trim. I might do the top in a different wood but I have not decided.
Would it be OK to use a solid wood for the top and bottom?
Most that I see on line seem to be veneered plywood and not solid wood. They are not that big but then it does have moisture in it. Being fairly new at this I have been more concerned with safety, getting tight miters, tool set up and matching grain than I have been about expansion of wood.
I'm open to ideas on domestic wood combinations and design ideas or if you have photos of what you have made, hinge styles, closures or not...
If you have made one, I'm curious about what suppliers you used for the hydrometer, hinges etc. Seems to be plenty on line but I don't know the quality of any of it and it all looks good in a photo.
Thanks
