RE: Conditioning a solid ceder humidor?

Agree 100% with sgoselin. Be patient. Cedar is very good at absorbing moisture, and being solid cedar, thats a lotta wood. The reason for not wiping down the wood interior directly is the extreme possibility of warping.
Humidors are usually only cedar lined due to:

1) the exterior box is usually coated with waterproof sealer on the inside to prevent absorbing moisture and warping.

2) the cedar liner is usually "slip fitted" due to when exposed to a 70%RH environment, it can and will expand slightly.
