Dark board is 10”x1.5”x48” of spanish cedar and the light board is a rough milled piece of elm. I think I’m going to be busy. I’ll post progress pics.
I see a humidor in my future

Stock cut to rough size
Spanish Cedar is looking nice
Some of the Cedar before rough planing
And after cleaning up, flattening and removing the wind in the boards
Maintenance time

The Elm for the outside is cleaning up nice as well.
Love the progress report.
This is going to be one heck of a thread!
You have some mad skills with those planes.
I am digging this thread. Nice job so far. Can't wait to see your progress!
Awesome! I'll be following this thread. My grandpop was a woodworker and collected probably close to 50 planes of all shapes, sizes, and specialties. My dad and I inherited them and have been trying to slowly get them into workable shape. Good to see someone making use of such tools!

Thanks everyone.
Cedar’s rough cut but I think that I’m going to pick up some more as I’ve decided to build a couple of drawers in it. I’m also thinking of grabbing some Padauk to incorporate into the door.
3/8” Side bead plane is getting some use too.
Unfortunately it’s supposed to rain all week so I’ll have to wait until the weekend to do more.

EPIC!
Nice project. I'll be watching this also.
That bead plane is so very cool. Just think of the stuff that was made with those tools.

Got some more spanish cedar for the interior drawers and some padauk for the door.
I think the same thing about my old straights. If only they could talk, the stories they could tell.
