Quartesawn Oak Chest #1

This is the first quartersawn oak chest I worked on. One of the first larger humidors I worked on too.

I think this is an eBay pic:



Same perspective on a stripped, stained and varnished humidor. This was my tung oil varnish phase. I never liked the glossy finish. Nice figuring on the wood though!



Original interior was glass and metal.



The finished front does look pretty sharp!



I was doing all cedar interiors at the time. I was pretty happy with this one.

That is a fine looking piece. The finish you have there is pretty close to what the original finish might have been.. stain to accentuate the flashes and a somewhat glossy finish.

I just have to agree. It's as good as it can get to match genuine vintage oak. I've done a few similar pieces and none turned out that well.
