I guess you're right. These saber's are beautiful but the smith is very particular. He doesn't produce the saber's in quantities like SF, all or most his saber's are one-of-a-kind. Also, he doesn't sell them to just anyone, he auctions them off to the highest bidder.

Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

Just search for simulating wood grain on aluminium. I'm fairly sure using different colours and combing/stippling tools would produce different finishes etc. But let's make sure we don't put Justin out of a job here! For Tyeth

But it can't hurt to try!

Upper end customz are expensive for sure. However self modified is a tricky endeavor. Over time incorporate a crystal chamber. Then later add shattered weathering damage reveal. Over time for sure but not right away.

Thankfully for those who choose to attempt such work, they have people like yourself and the many others on this site to look up to and importantly learn from! Then there are people like me who just admire and dream, haha! Thanks again and please all keep posting, For Tyeth

Came with a plastic spreader or comb that you varied the pressure on to create wood effect. It worked really well. This whole thread has got me eager to have a go carving a hilt. Purely decorative. Would be time consuming but man, you could go to town on it for minimal cost.

Hi xyster,

That's the stuff I meant. However I don't remember if it specifically mentioned for use on metal. There are the new products mentioned in the online videos around. And aluminium garage doors get wood grain treatments so I imagine that process could be scaled down to lightsaber hilts, maybe!

Regarding carved hilts, a word of caution..my uncle had a woodworking lathe, and I asked if he'd make a saber for me.

He said sure.

I received a Baseball Bat! (apparently he was still learning!)

I hope you have better luck,

For Tyeth
