Cool man, looks good. I have been saving my bands for years, waiting for the right idea or project to come along. PO did a really cool bar a few years back. I will see if I can find the thread

That looks awesome!
I've been saving my bands for an ashtray project. Hopefully I can finish it one of these years...

This was my first humidor and decided to dress it up a bit. Modge Podged the bands on, then a few coats of polyurathane. Wanted to do more, but this is where it stands
Well, I decided to pull the trigger and enroll in this forum. Again, that is a slick looking humi. I may have told you that I have a bedside table/humidor on my sketch pad and about 5 cigar boxes full of bands intended for use on the top of it. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours has.

Nice, Larry! We're you pleased with the results from the Modge Podge? I ask, as I'm guessing some adhesives might be absorbed by the paper bands.
Like Carl, I've been saving my bands for years for a project, but still have no clear idea as to what project to pursue. Been considering a dominoes table for years, but I have to build a table first.

Larry, I just finished drawing out my table/humidor project and penciled in the measurements. I ordered some kiln-dried Spanish cedar (pricey !!!) I'm getting in the mood now. I'll keep you posted. Since photobucket works the same way here, I'll shoot some pics and post them here.
