Default Veneering technique

I just built a humidor in solid mahogony with a veneered figured
bubinga top. the inside is 1/4 inch spanish ceder which i cut snugly
to shape and floats in the bottom part, for the top lip i epoxeyed the
edge pieces of ceder and put a small amount of epoxy on the
middle(interior) of the top to hold its postion while alowing for a
little movement. The spanish ceder is not for looks, it provides
humidification control for the box. spanish ceder is used due to its
rot/bug resistence. on some humidors constuction is with solid (3/4")
ceder with veneered fancy wood on the exterior. I am the furthest
thing from an expert but wanted to put in my .02
