Nice box! Have you tried looking locally for cedar? It is kind of a specialty craft wood, some lumber places apparently have it and others don't. I hear that it is waaay more expensive to buy online. Maybe you could try and find some lumber/wood stores to call up and ask. -

was thinking the same thing, Gray.
I bought mine from a local woodcraft store, but it was the same $$ as the online pricing:

A couple other local stores carried it but all of their pricing was about the same as woodcraft. A couple stores offered discounts if I ordered a larger amount but it was wayyy more than I'd ever need. -
I've tried my local lumber/craft stores with no luck. Thank you for the suggestions though. And a major thank you on my box. It's not completely finished but it definitely has been a major learning experience. I plan on making a few more of these and the humidor I mentioned in many earlier posts. As soon as I get the wood I want for the outside of it, and plenty of the cedar, I'll be making it. Give me time and I will post pics of it throughout the process. It's the strict budget that's kickin me in the shins. I'm using very little power tools and 95% of everything that I've done is all by hand (e.g. Files, sand paper, knives, and patience). I'm looking for a decent draw knife though. One of my uncles had stolen it from me when my grandfather passed away 6 years ago.

If you're in Verona KY, take a trip up 71 to the tri-county (north of cincy) area. There is a rockler store there that I believe has Spanish cedar.
Should be easier than repurposing the cigar boxes -
that is the store my dad uses for all of his wood working projects.oilburner:If you're in Verona KY, take a trip up 71 to the tri-county (north of cincy) area. There is a rockler store there that I believe has Spanish cedar.
