My plan was to insulate then line with cedar... It's sold 1960era usa made dresser... But i can think it out, just not do it...

For anyone interested in building a standing humidor, here's a link to a 2009 article by Aaron Hines detailing his own project...

The result, which is simply beautiful, speaks for itself!
