La-Ci-Co Factory Smokers

Posted by Craig Franklin Wolford on June 30, 2012 at 11:29pm
No. 7 LA_CI_CO Factory Smokers.I built this one specially for a young lady that already plays a fiddle. I wanted to mimic the actual size of her fiddle. I researched and found what I supposed would be the right box for her. Sadly, when it arrived, It had a cardboard top and bottom. Thus I had to build a top and bottom for it. I used what I think was spruce, Planed the boards down with a hand planer and set about curving the top and bottom and arching the end and trimming the sides to fit. I'm glad to say that she is very happy with it. I also stenciled the cigar name back on the top using the old paper label from the inside as a stencil.

    Thanks Dave. This one was the first one I built specifically with some one in mind. I guess you'd say I was commissioned to build it.
