Spanish Cedar
- Thread starter dpmrpa
- Start date
When I called a local business that could have ordered material, the minimum order size would have been enough to make 100 humidors. I ended up getting mine from a dealer on Ebay.
The boards I bought were over 1 1/2 inches thick, so they needed to be cut, milled, and planed. The cedar trays that fit in my coolidor are 1/2 inches thick. I guess that's a long way of saying if you order on line, be sure you can use the pieces you ordered.
I bet some others here can point you to a dealer that sells spanish cedar in more workable sizes.

Dennis many "specialty" lumber stores carry it in certain thickness and lengths. Dont forget also alot of BOTl have used boxes to make shelves if thats what your doing. There free and with a little time make great shelves. If your making a whole humi good luck I have not a quater of the talent needed to pull that off.

JF I have no idea how I would make a shelf with used boxes. I am making a drawer for the avanti. I would like one drawer with three dividers.

Since many boxes are the same thickness guys have used these. They take either a table saw and rip these same thickness pieces then join them all together. I believe 1 of the wine o dor botls have a pic on here from a few months back. Look in the search of wine o dors or storage and it should be there.
Rockler.com sells spanish cedar veneer boards which they say can be used in a humidor. They also sell random sizes of spanish cedar boards but none that I have found were big enough for the base of a shelf. I dont know the size you need but you can buy pre-made spanish cedar shelves online.

Thanks
i made the drawers for my vinotemp. i found some spanish cedar at a local woodworking shop. they didn't have any wide enough for the base so i had to use two 6" wide pieces glued together. worked out pretty well i think. the cigars aren't heavy enough to put enough pressure on the seam to crack it. and the sides hold the two pieces together also. it was pretty expensive if i remember right... 6 bucks a linear foot i think? i had to get it planned too, which cost me another 15-20 bucks. i would do a google search for wood workers or wood sales places near you and just call them up. there is a brother here that'll make your drawer for you too, not sure you want to go that route tho.
