I say kinda finished because I need a common cathode RGB for my crystal chamber and I accidentally got a common anode. Its hot off my bench so it still needs a good polishing and clean up but here some quick pics

This saber I designed to be like a ceremonial saber that never got used in the field and was mostly use for well ceremonies like knighting or such. It has lots of gold accents and has the 5 jedi codes around the mid section. It is also heavily inspired by a mara jade saber.

Beautiful design! I really like the trim rings and text, and the proportion of gold used throughout.

Looks to be 13-14" long and 1.6" diameter, sized for two-handed knighthooding.

That is a gorgeous saber. Very well done!

Definitely a ceremonial piece, I couldn't see bringing a showpiece like that into battle.

Beautiful work! Is that paint or powder coat in the reveals? Nicely done, whatever it is...

The gold part is liquid gold leaf. Originally it was gold leaf sheets but the final look wasnt exactly what i wanted so i stripped it and did the liquid leaf and that looked much better imo.

Good to know!

Nice work, this will be a great display saber. I would shudder to take it into a fight.

What does all of the arubesh say?

Greenie is correct. Also that saber now currently sits striped of internals. I was redoing and ended up using parts for other sabers. I'll revamp it at some point I'm sure.

Cannibalized? Whatever it was gutted for is probably a sweat piece then.
