simple and elegant solutions rarely disappoint! This makes that point nicely! POINTAGE!
Thank you. I do think that the copper accents and the black leather go well together =)

I agree with that, it all works really well together. It looks great for a relatively simple design... which makes me glad since I'd wanted leather on atleast one lightsaber, but I've only seen 2 examples done so far. Always been a big leather fan.

Dark Lords of the Sith have ruled collectively and individually for Millenia. One afraid to wield a power is ultimately unworthy of it. Ascendancy into the light has an apex, yet descent into the darkness is endless. The Dark Side can give or take anything, based on user strength. I claim the title of Darth Prodigal Dark Lord of the Sith as my own. Through pain, our Code, and right of combat it is mine; and so shall it be defended. Follow Darth Bane's wisdom. (Only Dark Side Points Preferred.)

I got these leather samples from a store on Etsy (forget the name offhand…pm me if you want me to look it up). The samples are pretty much the right size for some minor leather wrapping (bulvoy's tutorial on this topic is excellent!) I've used it on 3 project (see 2 linked below…can't post the 3rd as it's non US…but I actually did some cord-work underd the leather and it's super sweet…pm to see that as well) & I have 3 pieces left in light tan, black and a super-sexy gray that beg for their own future projects.
Fun times

Just a follow-up: My learther samples came from Peggy Sue Also on Etsy. It seems that they may have changed the way this product works. However this is what I bought: Leather 6 pieces 4"x6" DIVINE Top grain Your CHOICE of Colors Cowhide 2-2.5oz https://www.etsy.com/shop/PeggySueAlsoThe 4x6 size is quite nice for most saber grips

Definitely nice for sure. Makes me want a Liberator again more and more, I really need me one Wood grip just on the bottom like kinda thinned so the black leather still shows, that'd look cool I think =]

But so far I mostly think about faux wood because of the difficulty to craft a real wood part.

Hi Darth Rondoudou... This saber looks so much better in real life - the texture on that leather is really nice! But then you did plan this build carefully...hope you don't mind but I'll share your pictures I mocked up for you. You definitely chose the right path with this one, thanks for sharing. Point incoming.

No problem! You played a huge part in how it turned out anyway =D And I agree, the texture on the leather gives it a plus!
