There was about 10 days between the final coat of poly and applying the cedar inside. I tried not to get too much stain and poly inside the box. About 3 or 4 days before I installed the cedar I smelled it and could only smell a faint smell. I put a box of baking soda inside and put the lid on it for for 4 days before installing the cedar. The day I installed the cedar I also sanded down the inside and wiped it out real good. I think that was sufficient.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

I think I will do another one soon because I had so much fun doing it.

Wish I had the skills to craft something like that and keep it for years, knowing I made it myself.
I made a toothpick once.

Awesome job, you are very talented!

I have been meaning to do this for a while now and had some time this morning.
So just to finish this off, here are some shots of it full.

That did not take long now did it







I have already been looking for my next project and the son wants me to do a wine fridge combo for him because he lives in the south. So something tells me there will be sawdust flying in the garage soon.

Thanks for all the kind words and looking at my project and hopefully I will build the next one big enough to be the last one I need,

OK forget that last line.

Looks great! What would look great is if you built a little "bridge" to hold your hygro which would slot in between the two trays.
