I've been eyeing my Wife's Lane cedar chest, with the idea of converting it to a humidor. She shot me down in flames last night when I asked her if I could. She did say i could get my own and do whatever I wanted with that. So I checked out craigslist and found multiple listings, with reasonable prices.
These chest are not going to be made of Spanish Cedar, but rather the aromatic cedar used to repell moths. Right? How do I convert this to work for my uses? Do I need to completely line and seal the interior with spanish cedar? I know there is not going to be a great seal on a 50 year old chest that was not made for this purpose. So can I just use weather stripping for the seal or do I have to creat a humidor type ridge like we all have on our desktops?
I want to make sure this is with in my skill set befor I spend the $$$. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
