What is B&Q? I have been wanting to do this for a while but i can't find large bamboo anywhere other than windchimes and didg's.
And yes. GTA teaches valuable life skills like always taking your money back from the hooker after the pipe bludgeoning. So there's that.

bamboo
you can get bamboo poles on-line but you may be able to find them at other places like spa stores and gardening stores. You may just want to get a small cheap piece to drill, cut, and experiment with.
tim tells me that he could machine my design for The hilt $50-$60 http://s203.photobucket.com/albums/a...amboosaber.jpg

Go for it! And have him powdercoat it green!
There are two truths in major league soccer:
1. Your team is either from Chicago or a suburb of Detroit.
2. Detroit sucks.
IMO... if you DO get one custom lathed... I would opt for painting it myself..so you can do the seams/cracks, and weathering yourself.. making it look more realistic then just a solid 'green'... live bamboo is green...
I'm more of a fan of using real bamboo, but I can see a shaped aluminum option as being more durable if dropped or something.
The color should be a nice tan. Like xl97 said, only live 'boo is still green.
Bamboo can be a very durable material. I'm in a sword fighting organization called Amtgard that uses bamboo for blade material on a regular basis. It can take as much abuse as most carbon fiber cores I've seen, and these are not light hits. I have a 10' piece I'm going to be making into a pole arm eventually.
If I run across a large enough piece of 'boo, I'll likely try a sabre out of it myself.
Yes, I spell it sabre. I just like it that way.

Remember kids, using Darth or Master in your user name won't make you cool.
I agree a REAL organic bamboo hilt/sleeve would be best.. with a metal base on the inside.. to mount everything to...

Yeah, for your first build, stick to more standard parts and processes. You'll still be able to make something cool and unique using the MHS that you'll love having. Then as you get more experience you can look at customized projects.
I recommend reading through this thread by Erv-

He explains how he got started. You're at a great age to pick up these skills. By the time you're in your later teens, you'll be designing boards too.
