This Avallo 2000 is being made for a BOTL member.

Walnut finish with a dark expresso stain.

Custom base

It will have Burl door panels and a Burl top.

Inside is loaded up with pullout shelves and slideout drawer.

Fully optioned Accumonitor with fan timer, 4 humidity canisters and 4 circulation fans.

Alos, being that it has a wood door, you will not be able see the readings of the Accumonitor like you would if you had a glass door, so the accumonitor is getting mounted in a cigar box that will be on top of the cabinet

This is just the first rough shop photo, and more pics will come.

I'm interested in seeing in this specifically. I wouldn't want a glass door but would like to see the readings... where are the photos Ron?

Same here. I will be getting a wood door and my plan is to buy a simple weather station that shows temp as well as Rh. I will then put the sensor in the cabinet and the indoor readout on my dresser, desk or somewhere that I'll see it all the time. That way I can monitor the temp/rh all the time and then simply open the door on occasion or when getting cigars.

At quick glance, something like this...

I would also like to get temp control.
After hearing many opinions, I think I decided on getting a unit without temp control to save the bucks and will just buy a portable A/C unit for the 1-2 months I need cooling out here in the Seattle area.

I do this, Oregon Scientific. Three sensors in my humi and the station is visible from my desk.
