First Humidor

My first humidor. Spanish cedar box with Bubinga veneer and Wenge inlay. It was also my first go at veneering. I have a lot to learn. The lining is all free floating 3/16" cedar as well. That Spanish Cedar really smells nice.

Installing quadrant hinges is the hardest thing I've done so far in woodworking. I had to mortise out both sides for the stop slide to fit into. I could not figure out how to do it with a full sized router, hand held drill, etc. So, I cheated and used my Festool domino machine....5 mm bit was perfect.
