If I do my shelving in 3/4" is it enough to line the walls of my humi with spanish cedar veneer? Or should I go with 1/4". The veneer would definitely save me money though.

IMO, Use the 1/4" solid.

Matt, notice you are in St L. I live here in West Tn. and about an hour south is a guy runs Exotic woods of the World. He will sell bundles and you can pick them up. sometimes they auction cheap on his website, then maybe we could work something out. I have a way of picking it up and storing it here, You are only 4-5 hrs away. Do some math(not sure the board ft you need) send me a pm and I will be glad to help, yes the solid will be much better and fresh kiln dried like he has will keep it's smell for decades and hold up much better, looks cool, too.

I say humidity is your big issue. Do the veneer as long as it is Spanish cedar.

Yea, I noticed humidor, if it is not a big one, or cabinet, size as well as cost will be better to use veneer. Years later as it loses it's aroma, it is easy to add fresh over.

Make sure it's Spanish though.
