You can get the wood from Rockler. The only advice I can give you is that you'll probably find a lot of Spanish Cedar veneer that says it's "perfect for lining cigar boxes or humidors" but that's baloney. You need something thicker than a veneer, and I wouldn't want all that glue in my humidor. Rockler also sells smaller Spanish Cedar planks and some really nice hinges for use on a humidor. You could use a veneer or a nice finish for the outside of the box. If I were doing it myself, I would probably construct the box of Spanish Cedar, and then do the outside with a veneer.
I am interested in your progress on this one, Scion, as I will be tackling the same project when I get back home in a couple of months. As I build mine I will be making an online journal of my progress so that others can avoid the mistakes I will undoubtedly make. But until I get back and have the time, I am just picking up pointers and buying materials. Please do update us though as you go along.
