I found a website online that does laser etching on wood and It looks pretty cool I wrote for a quote and they said they have done humidors before and needed to know the size of the pic for a quote. I like the other ideas too. but If you want me to get a quote let me know the size of the pic. The website is

http://www.touchofwood.com/

And this is the email they sent me

Hello Robby,

We have done wood humidor in the past.

How large do you want the picture and text engraved? When I have this information I can provide a quote.

Best regards,
Ann

'course we at CR will pay for it

A good frame "artist" should be able to come up with something along this line. I'm in.

the original idea loos expensive, but would be timely. is there a urgency for this or a date to have this completed by?

CM,

You can have a photo transferred to a ceramic or porcelain tile - do a google, although you may know some local places to get this done. I'd suggest a 3 x 4 oval. Have it coated so it doesn't scratch. Then take the humi to a local woodworker and have the oval inset into the top of the humi. Or if you're good with a wood chisel you can do it yourself. Don't inset more than half the thickness of the top. Adhere with the silicone adhesive they use for bathroom and kitchen counter tops.

I'm also in - cigars or cash, whatever's needed.

HAy Robby.... the family loved this idea so I sent the company above this e-mail:





My friend asked for quotes for a CIgar Humidor with a friends photo cut into the wood. We're looking for about an area (photo) of about 7 inch by 7 inch. Humidor size can be medium. Hold about 50 sticks. DO you have access to them or do we have to provide them. Our dear friend passed away at age 23 and the family is asking for our help to get this made. Your assistance and direction would be great.

What are our options.... and then prices. They of course do not have a lot of money after burying thier son, brother, so please keep that in mind, but we understand you are running a business and need to make a profit to survive this economy also....

Thank you for your direction.

Michael

That sound good cm let us know what they have to say, and I'll throw some money in when its time to get it made. I think it would look really good engraved in some redwood or something
