First cigar band

[dozuki]

First for the disclaimer and a thank you. The band I used s from one of my favorite cigars but not a pristine one. The are some little nicks in it. I figured why waste a good band on an experiment. Of course that would be a good excuse to get more cigars. And a thank you to the great members of this site who are so willing to share information with a new guy. It's a coco bola with a woodcraft cigar pen components. All advice and constructive criticism is welcome.

Here is another view.

That's not bad. I've always wanted to make one like that.

Looks really nice! Wish my first attempt was as good as that. I like the dark woods with those pens...

Nice One "dozuki,"
The marks on the Band, make it look "Much Loved & Appreciated"
Good selection of Cocobolo.
Great Fit and Finish.
Congratulations,
Brian.

what did you use to glue the label? After it was glued, CA ?

Good work. I just did my first one too, they are quite fun. I've got some sweet bands to use, like a Gurkha Ghost.

Very cool. Gotta try that some day.

I used mod podge to glue it down and then used it again for the finish. It was a fun one to make but it takes a while. Ya there are some great bands I want to try. I have one that is beautiful but so big I will have to trim it some how
