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.
