I put an ask up, on the ecigs forum over the finish of this case.
In the end, I have waxed it due to it being oak I'm not keen on other finishes on hardwoods wax is easy to maintain and lets the wood breath.
so children, shall we begin
on this very wet day (very very wet for me in fact) on the dvd is bladerunner directors final cut, is decker a replicant??
the timber im using is oak heartwood at about 8 to 10 % water its very hard stuff but the finish is silky smooth
first put together
the oak is not to bad on my planer or saw it cuts perfect but then again all the blades are razor sharp this week
i have decided to do a drop down front its a first for me, but sacrifices have had to be made the box needed strength even though its glued and has dovetails for joints. I have had to screw the inners in to brace the box but not having any oak dowels to hand and dowels won't give a horizontal strength I would like, so I have filled the holes over the screws.
i have gone for a wax finish (dark oak bison wax) its is super silky smooth
the fittings are all fine bronze colour
i haven't finished the inside as yet I'm not sure I may wax, I may not, I will think it over...
there is a draw at the back (and the tray as always lifts out for attys)
the price is £55 plus postage at £11.50 via paypal as POTV rules state
it will go on ebay in the next few days or you can get it here if you wish.
if you love my cabinets or leather cases then like them, buy them.
