Here’s one for ya…

How much of a humidor needs to be lined with cedar? For instance, my desktop is 100% lined and most other top loading box humidors are as well. I have been tinkering with a design for a humidor that would be like a mini dresser but instead of sealing each drawer I would have a glass front door with a lock. Would having just the drawers made of Spanish cedar be ok or would I have to line the entire thing?

I have most of the design aspects worked out on paper and I have the tools. Soon it will be time to buy wood. If I have to line the entire thing ill have to go back to the drawing board and tweak my design. Any thoughts would be great.
 
I don't like the idea of other woods in the design unless the interior is completely lined. You may get odors from other woods or finishes on those woods. You also have a moist environment which can create problems for a lot of woods. I'd go back and tweak the design.
 
ive been looking around and i kind of liked the look of this but it was a bit to complex
