So my mind has been a buzz with the possibilities of what i can do to customize my saber for aesthetic looks.  I keep looking at my order:

1 of : Phantom V2 [Blade LED Color:RGB (Red, Green, Blue)][Blade 2 Color:RGB (Red, Green, Blue)][Blade Length:X-Long 36"][Blade Option:Heavy Grade]

and smiling about all the ideas that are coming to mind.  The ideas that keep coming back are "battle worn" and "organic."  Think along the lines of A'Sharad Hett's (the human tusken raider jedi) lightsaber.

Which looks something like this:


I was thinking leather, fake bone, wood accents, things of that sort.

The other idea that i had was to make it steampunkish with wood and copper accenting.  The only reason i like this idea (apart from being a sp fan) is that i could use old typewriter keys for the RGB buttons

One thing that I think would be very cool is to wrap the saber in some kind of vine work, or at least part of it, maybe the grip. I dont know, you might need to reinforce it and definitely do a good bit of poly seal and stain, but it could work.

So i have a couple ideas for one hilt.  Using ancient china weapons and style as an example i'm going to wrap the hilt with red leather cord in a turk's head style knot, which looks like this:



Now i just have to learn how to tie that freaking knot...after a night of practice i think i'm halfway to understanding the process.  I also have plans of connecting a ring to one of the pommels so i can make attach a lanyard much like this:



Once i start working on all this (once i have more than 1 day off, that is)  i'll post some pics of progress and such.  as for now, it's all brainstorming!

If you're considering any bone I'd suggest getting authentic bone beads or tooth shaped beads.  It has essentially the same look as fake bone but it adds an x-factor of baddassary to the saber so u can say "yea it's real bone". maybe throw in a back story of how u fought off two wolves that attacked and once u killed them u took their teeth and put it on ur saber... speaking of which I might actually do that now... thank god I live in the middle of nowhere. I shouldn't have too hard a time finding a wolf o.O
