It’s a great humidor and I’ll bet that the customer loved it.

Great looking box! The inner trays are a cool design too.
I’m finishing gluing up a box now (considering how new to woodworking I am, the myriad of mistakes are inevitable but somewhat minor… I hope). The thought of applying a finish is daunting cuz there’s so many opinions.
I want to finish it with Shellac and it just happens to be maple and walnut (scraps given to me by friend). Was hoping you could give me some advice? What kind of shellac did you use? Flakes? If so, what did you cut it with? Did you put a finish on the inner trays? Any tech advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dan

Dan,
Thanks for the comments, I always use flakes, that way I always know it’s fresh. You should be able to find plenty of videos on youtube or the web on mixing and applying shellac. The ones I’ve built are always rubbed out to a high gloss. Just my preference. The trays are made from Spanish cedar, the humidor is also completely lined with it. No finished is used on the trays or any of the interior. This allows for the Spanish cedar to hold and release moister at the rate it does.
Vic
