    Many of you may not know me, but if you did you would know that I build scratch-built lightsabers for friends and family for their birthdays, Christmas, sales, etc. One friend wants me to build her Anya Kurro's (is that spelled right?) lightsaber as a birthday gift for her when she stumbled onto Luuke's site a while back. The thing is... I know absolutely NOTHING about the techniques that went into making this saber or how to do them, much less scratch-build (which I am good at on other saber models) the danged thing. Any help would be appreciated!

    P.S. If you can't offer help on how to make one, could you direct me to a place where I might could buy one? Thanks!

    What Luuke had to say about the saber (thanks to the Wayback Machine at www.archive.org) -

    <div class='quotetop'></div>
    I&#39;m especially proud of this lightsaber I brought into the real world. This lightsaber was 96% custom sculpted by myself. That includes the custom crystal on the pommel. The main body and pommel sleve was sculpted on a wooden dowel using sculpy compound. After it was baked in the oven I pulled a silicone mold from it and made resin castings. The pommel crystal was made by taking a wooden egg and dremeling in the detail. It was then heavily clear coated so the castings would have a smooth, clear, surface. They were pressure cast in clear resin with tinted dyes added. The emitter is parted together with washers, lock ring and aluminum pipe. The custom paint work was a six step process to give it that organic look.[/b]
    And a PM sent.

    And one more thing... She wants it to be a stunt/hero saber with removable blade (my bamboo sticks with multiple layers of colored tape) for belt haging. And if that won&#39;t work (which I&#39;m SURE it won&#39;t), I&#39;ll just get her a hero saber for her birthday and get another one and convert it into a stunt saber for either Christmas or her next birthday.

    Sorry for not including this in my first post.
