Beautiful work. I was going to question using a brass thumbscrew or covertec clip to pull some more of that accent through the saber, but the more I look at it I realize you made the correct choice. I don't know how it duels, but it has a stunning visual balance. Bravo.
Awesome work! This saber has an amazing balance. Quite a piece you've created here.
Very nice overlay work with an overall madcow/VV feel. Awesome work CC.

Thanks everyone!
amwolf - Your not the first to make the same observations. I considered the same options but I agree.
This is a VERY flattering compliment seeing as they're both huge influences if not the two most influencial sabersmiths that inspire me.Originally Posted by bk_renesis

Just thought i would say, Love your work
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Another double post I won't complain about.
Karen that is a great design. I love your painting technique, & the multiple shroud layers. That's also a great idea for the sound. Do you have a video? I would like to here it.

Very pretty! I really like the incorporated sound vents, quite innovative. I agree with DM, get a video, if you can.

I do plan to do a video for this soon. The sound venting is very noticeable and projects volume at your opponent which blends well during dueling. I want to get a stand to display it on and have a specific font in mind that really suits it but I'll have to wait and show you.
