50,000 year old humidor
I have got my hands on a certified 50,000 year old wood called Kauri. The trees were knocked down by a glacier in New Zealand 50,000 years ago and preserved perfectly. The trees themselves lived an average of 10,000 years as well. I will have enough to build around 5 Humidors. The wood comes with a brochure and a certificate of authenticity. I will also be using a wood called Gaboon Black Ebony. This wood is Coal Black and is over 100.00 bucks a foot. These should be my finest work yet. I'll keep you posted on the progress as they are built. Don't know what I'll do with them but they should make someone happy. Who knows, maby another contest is in the future.

Always taking it a step higher than the last--now that's an artist at his best -- a work of art--Very nice Bill, very nice indeed my friend!
Crap I get excited just knowing you have another piece coming out--Like waiting for Pete Johnson or Pepin coming out with another Blend--WTG |

Bill you should go into business making humis man. Your work is up there with Aristocrat and other fine manufacturers. Maybe you could start making desktops under their name or something. There has to be a way to get your unique skills into the professional humidor building business.
