I just got my parts for my 1st CBG build and have a beautiful black finished wood box! Love it!

Anyway.., I like the label however., for my own purposes would like to remove the label safely without ruining the finish under it.  I may just leave it alone as is but really I want to add a black & white flying skull at the top which will (in my opinion) clash with the gold/burgundy label.  (Vintage series 1990 Signature collection, Rocky Patel)

The box naturally has some imperfections but not enough for me to worry about - but yeah - I'd like to remove the label without leaving adhesive behind or scraping it off. Or is it possible without ruining the finish?

THANKS in Advance for any advice. I'm stoked about getting started on this thing.. If its best to leave the label alone - so be it. The label itself will look great if I nix the flying skull. :-)
