For Raiders I used Patronato 21.
Haven't done ESB slate yet but I'd say Slager is pretty close

Decided to make a catch of all the clappers I've made so far (including the ones I made for myself)
It all started with the weathered Raiders of the Lost Ark slate:

I'll love making this beaten up clapper once there's a lot of weathering to do
Original:
Getting started:
1- wooden board painted black and aged
2- wooden sticks marked and "wet painted"

Sticks and front board also aged
Like this a lot. I've similar plans to make a Star Wars clapper, so i've been watching your threads with interest.
Couple of questions.
1. The slot in the top clapper. What is that used for, and did you cut it out or make the top from three pieces of wood?
2. What did you use for the back? I was going to use blackboard paint. Seemed to make sense if i was going to be writing on it in chalk
3. How did you do the white lettering and lines

Thanks Aku
Not sure I understand your first question. I used plywood for the board and for the two top parts I got a regular pine wood stick and cuted it in two. Had the central "line" on one of the sticks made so that the board can fit in it
Once I'm not going to write anything on the back, I went for a regular black matt spray paint
This clapperboard only has only six lines and two letters so I used vinyl (for the other slates as you know I used a thin printed paper glued on the board)
How are you going to make your Star Wars clapper? Heavily weathered like mine?
