    a few questions here...
    if someone were to try and get a humidor from you, how long is the waiting list?
    how do you set prices?
    is there a size limit to how big you will go?

    The waiting list varies... right now, I'm probably about a week and a half from starting a new one.... My pricing is is pretty much based on a base model with no frills and regular domestic wood... I have it all outlined on my website....and have a quote page on there that I work with... pricing will typically depend on what options are selected and type of wood.... Size limit.... well, I just did one that is 32x13x10... and that was pretty big... I don't think you'd want to go much bigger with a desk top.... but.... anything is possible.... Thanks for asking!

    another beautiful humidor. one day you will be commisioned for mine. truly nice work. I actually have a decent woodworking knowledge from my car audio days (mostly medite and melamine) and I understand the skill it takes to do what you do.

    I will be asking you to make mine this year. This is my favorite yet. I am a huge fan of the look of Teak. As soon as this tax return gets here, I'll be placing my order. I've seen your site, and your work is great. Just place the order on the site? or PM you here?

    Fantastic work once again. I'm still debating about that one we were talking about and if I would have the $$$ for it and shipping.

    If anyone is sitting on the proverbial fence about ordering from waxing, I will tell you he is a joy to work with. I will definitely be doing more business with him in the future. I am only sad that my wife will be able to see this work of art months before I will.

    You've been great to work with as well.... This really is a sweet humidor, I don't mind saying myself... something about the wood in this one.... It was fun to work with, for sure....

    Do you have the capability to construct a humidor out of spalted maple? I've always had a soft (or hard..) spot for that wood.
  • WaxingMoon
    WaxingMoon Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 328
    Yes... spalted wood is difficult to work, but you can treat it prior to cutting to maintain it's integrity.... Just a little more work involved is all...
