I just did this one the other day to see what it would look like with out the center band-Wood i think was cocobolo? but not sure, it was in with my cocobolo blanks, Myland Friction Polish (Like the feel of the wood) .
I think it's a cool look, definitely a worthy experiment. I do have to agree with Mike though.
Perhaps another thing you may want to try is to segment a different species on the lower part of the upper barrell in place of the centerband. Just a thought
