Ive started making my sabers out of pvc(easier to cut with a hack saw. working on getting a dremel soon  ) I came up with an interesting concept as an excuse to not painting mine. My characters lightsaber is carved out of a Kraat Dragon bone so I just leave it white and wrap it in some vinyl grip. Do you know if any other jedi like in comics does this as well?

then you'd better be focusing it with a Kraat Dragon Pearl to get the full effect. (and be sure to wash thouroughly as the sand on Tatooine gets into places even medical droids won't go)

MY kraat dragon pearl may only be a marble but i made sure I polished it before I put it in:)

A good idea! I think it would be harder to get it to look like bone than metal though...

Actually its not that hard. YOu need to make sure you rough it up a bit and sort of sand dound the middle to give it a squeezed look and thats about it.

I really like the idea of that, do you have any concept drawings of the design? I can't wait to see pictures of the finished saber

I believe that Tenel Ka had a rancor tooth lightsabre. I suppose that would be along those lines. I used PVC and painted it to create an ancient sabre that would connect to a power pack.

one other option is to get a knife making catalog or go to any knife making supply web site and buy synthetic Ivory and carve it into a saber hilt.
