Now we cut the tops off. A little tricky but just
do it on the table-saw carefully.

After a little sanding we have two basic boxes.

I put the top on and glued it to the main body.
Sorry for the blurry pictures. I guess i should use my camera instead of my cell phone. I will.

I then glued the simple box together using Gorilla Glue. Notice the Walnut end pieces.

I next attached Walnut strips to the ends to dress it up a little.

Next we have to line it with some sort of water absorbent wood. The popular wood for lining is Cedar, but it imparts a taste to the cigars i would rather not have. After much Googling I found out expensive humidors tend to be line with either Mahogany or Sycamore. I choose Sycamore. I cut the Sycamore into 1/8 thick strips and laminated it to the Plum wood.

I am a cigar smoker so lets make a simple humidor. Here we have wood from a dead Plum tree I cut down about a year ago. I had to work it down to boards to make it useful, no easy task as you can see what it looked like before and after.
