Wooden Light Saber

[Fuzzual]

Ok, so I am new and starting a couple of threads to show all of you a few of my past years projects. I am new to the prop replica hobby, so be gentle :confused

The wooden Light Saber was made for my father for christmas last year. He is a brilliant man, and an incredible master of carpentry, so I thought this would be something different. I have since made several others as gifts to my nephew and other friends.

That is a really cool lightsaber man.... could you build it to hold electronics and a blade?...

Hadn't thought of that? I will look into it. Man, that's why this place is so cool, always great ideas to make something better!

Classy, I like it!

I'd be thrilled if my son made me something like that! Good on you.

Very cool! Makes me wonder how it would look with the main body stained with a light shade and the "grips" stained with a darker shade (to provide a little contrast) while leaving the metal "greeblies" their natural color.

Done! That will be the very next thing I try, in addition to adding a Light Blade perhaps. thanks man!

Looks amazing!!!

It is the only wooden saber I have seen, so it's definitely original. I like it

Did you end up varnishing it or sealing it in any way? I live in the armpit of the south, so the humidity would destroy that thing in a week if it wasn't sealed somehow.

Very nice work!
