Rocking chair or humidor band project?

[CJMaxey]

So I've been playing around with the idea of taking all the bands I've been saving from cigars to either decorate my humidor top or to decorate a rocking chair to make my "smoking chair." I saw the chair idea at my local Tinder Box back home and thought it was a great idea. They used an Adirondack chair though, and I think I want to go with the rocking chair if I do that.

But basically I was looking for two things:

1. Which one of these two things do you think would be more practical or which one would you choose if you were in this situation?

2. What all do I need to do to ensure that these bands go on well? I'm guessing adheisive and some type of sealant or laquer for over top of the bands. But I don't really know.


Any input would be appreciated.

Cool idea.
Ever decide on which one you were going to do? (or progress if you've started one)

As for Hefty's Bar top, very nice

At this point I think I'm looking into the rocking chair idea and will be hopefully starting it in the spring if I can. I'm unsure as to what type of chair I want to get though. The rocking chair would be nice but I've also looked into the Adirondack chairs as well. I actually saw a chair like I was thinking of doing outside of my local shop not too long ago. Now I just need to get probably 50 more bands to make anything worthwhile.

You've gotten me started saving all of my bands now. I'm thinking of doing a similar project. Not sure what yet, maybe the humidor.

Let me know what progress you make on it. I'd love to hear about it.

Likewise, I've got quite a collection of bands, but I also have a hugh collection of wine corks. I am planning to put the "special" corks in a shadow box. The others I will make a wine cork bullitin board with a nice frame.
Anyway, I was thinking about using the lesser corks to wrap bands around and arrange them in a shadow box. Wine corks are about a 50 ring size so the bands will fit around them just like a cigar. Any thoughts?

Kind of like this, but you would never see a plastic cork in my collection!

Wow that's a real creative idea. I've never really heard of that before but it looks like it would definately be something really cool to create. Definately a nice addition to a bar area or office. It would be hanging I assume right? I could actually see someone placing glass over this type of thing and making it into a table too.
