I needed some coasters for the man cave so I figured I'd put some of the cigar bands I've saved to use and make cigar band coasters! I kinda like how they turned out.

Actually these were done on a lathe. Made from a solid cylinder of Acrylic. I do think the mod poge would be another way to do it. Probably a quicker way but messier I would think. I'm going to turn another 2 foot cylinder tomorrow so if anyone wants a pair of them just give me a shout. I enjoy playing with the lathe so it's just fun to me.

I will be able to get about 6 to 8 coasters out of the material I have left to work with but I'll be getting more Acrylic soon.

Sirspanksalot, I never really thought about using them for trade bait but it's not a bad idea ;) Thanks Trackmyer and Jonboy.
