spent the night on the wood lathe with a piece of west coast yellow cedar, purple hart wood and some scrap aluminum.. 4 beers later i have a new saber .. got a shopping list for electrics and a neo pixel blade IMG_2492.jpgIMG_2491.jpg

Interesting :P Blade color ideas?
Light or dark. the path doesn't matter. What matters is how you act once you have chosen a path
DV6 Saber Hilt
That is pretty dang cool...Ive been thinking of a metal/wood hilt myself...
Did you epoxy the wood to the aluminum oy is it held together by the aluminum spine?
this took a careful bit of machining. the top piece of aluminum is friction fit with a wee bit of epoxy the rest is a tight slide fit with a epoxy. then back in the lathe to smooth out my chop saw cuts. then i had to take the piece to work and use the big lathe to bore it out .
few more decorations ... and this all started with a pen .. i had to sign some papers at work and she hands me this pen ........46100981_2193031750936343_3313207380669366272_n.jpg44171884_2175613509344834_1759153943708958720_n.jpg46053402_2193031767603008_5812718922050306048_n (1).jpg

the spine was an after thought .. because its wood, and i want combat ready and its only 1"1/2 of material with a 1 inch bore for electronics and blade. but i now have 2"1/4 blade purchase. .. the aluminum pieces were partial friction fit with epoxy. we shall see how it works after i bash the crap out of it . lol
and it smells fantastic ..
That's a cool looking pen...where did she get it? Oh...and your saber looks very cool....being a master craftsman...me likey!
