Hello everyone.

Hello everyone, I am new to the Forum. I don't know if we can share the work we do with our Felders. But since I see you as my friends, I wanted to share a humidor box I made with you. It is made of wenge wood. I used Spanish cedar inside. I used Lebanese cedar and purpleheart for the floor coverings. I made the Dali on the lid using 243 pieces of exotic wood with the marquetry technique. I hope you like it. Greetings from Turkey |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Burak,That is amazing. How many hrs of work is that? I don¡¯t know humidors. Is the feature on the bottom of the humidor decorative or has a function to keep cigars fresh? Imran Malik IAM Wood Creations On Jan 2, 2025, at 5:01?PM, ³Ò¨¹°ù±ð°ù via groups.io <gurerwoodcraft@...> wrote:

? Thank you for liking it Imran. It was a work that took about 350-400 hours. The work on the base was done both decoratively and for tobacco pests that do not like the smell of Lebanese cedar. The purpleheart was put there just to make it look good.

John Sincerbeaux still does his marquetry by hand. Dave Davies On Thu, Jan 2, 2025 at 4:59?PM ³Ò¨¹°ù±ð°ù via <gurerwoodcraft=[email protected]> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI don¡¯t know if you are Burak or Gurer, but (apparently) unlike some others here, your pictures did not come through to me.? ? The three tiny little pictures that show up at the end of your message below did not appear in your original message ¨C only as small boxes with some lines in them.? Clicking on them did nothing, same as when I click on the mini pics below.? ? I do see in one of your later posts responding to Imran¡¯s query whether your work was by hand, a picture of you doing the work.? I agree with the others:? Amazingly beautiful work!?? ? I hope you continue to post.? If you can send the pictures in some other format . . . . , I would love to see them.? ? ? Thank you!? ? Skip ?

Very nice work, I make some Cigar Boxes also and currently struggling to source true "spanish Cedar". Can you post where you got the wood from?.? Link to my landing page? -?

Spanish cedar is a commercial wood and is readily available.? I bought some for a boat project and my local Hardwood Industries had it on the shelf.? Easy to work with but soft and not overly expensive.
?
But you made me curious. ?Cedrela odorata is actually a broadleaf related to mahogany, not at all similar to western red or eastern or yellow or incense or Lebanese or...??
?
Kind of like calling out Douglas Fir as Oregon Pine.??

I really like Dali's mustache. Nice work. |
