Thanks All,

Actually "T" came up with the design on the lid, Those going to the St Louis herf this weekend will be able to view it IRL... then T and Blues have something special lined out for it ;0)

"How much for one of my own??"

marge796,

This was just a fun project for me and going for a good cause... I can tell you between the wood cost and hardware for it along with the engraving it gets pretty expensive... I didn't even calculate my labor in on this one?? I worked it in between other projects I have going on in the shop... Someone will for sure have a one of a kind item especially with this being the first Annual Herf Commemorative...

I will be doing another one up for the LOLH held every year in Springfield here.. and the proceeds for that will go to the boy's and girl's club of America... this one coming up in October will be the VI annual event... and I'll select another special wood for that one as well!!

It's a good thing you don't live closer I think we would be building things until the wee hours of the morning all the time. That picture doesn't do it justice I bet it is absolutely beautiful up close. Great job! Gunflint

Already posted above about this, but this is an absolutely beautiful humidor that has the best seal of any humidor I have ever seen.

Awesome workmanship and I'll be bringing some bucks to LOLH this year.
