Nicely done! And nice choice with the choke and BH - really gives it an elegant, feminine look.

Thanks a lot guys I really appreciate it. I wasn't sure about that blade holder at first but after receiving it and seeing it on a saber it really looks good. I'm really happy with the way it looks. A nice simple design is perfect for her, I didn't want to get to fancy with it because I plan on teaching her how to duel so it's going to used. :)

So just wondering about the trim rings, do they just slide on whichever section of the hilt you want them on? I plan on using one style3 in black also in my build between the lower grip and upper grip. They are both extension pieces though. I don't really care for main bodies. Its going to be a 6 inch lower extension and 3 inch ribbed upper extension. Thanks for the info on the trim rings.

They lock in between MHS sections and overlap them slightly. I think they're 1/4" wide and add 1/8" to the length, something like that. You could always ask Tim if he could mill off the inner section, allowing it to be a true ring, but depending on the design there may not be much metal left for a set screw.
