That's a great idea for the wheel! I'll have to remember that. I've only done initiates so far, but I'm hoping to do some larger ones Smiley How did you glue it down? Just curious

Spray adhesive I bought at Michael's retail store...   once I had the major wrapping mocked up, the very very ends of wrap kinda came loose since the adhesive had time to dry while I was still wrapping... So, just had to peel the wrap back 2 or 3 inches and spray again, then wrap it back into place....

I realized that in order for this saber to know the true power of the dark side, a black leather wrap was still necessary. All kidding aside, this feels absolutely WONDERFUL now, compared to the rough and sharpish edges of the brown faux leather. Went for a trip to Tandy's and found a hide I liked... I still want to treat it somehow to make it maybe a little blacker/shinier, like on my Sentinel. I'll do some research.

Here's the almost final pics of my sabers. Last pic's will come once my thumb screws arrive...

Thanks again for all the input, advice and encouragement...

Looks good.

If you want the leather a richer black, I'd dye it. Go back to Tandy and pick up some De-glazer, black dye, daubers and some leather sealer.

What I ended up buying at Michael's was Fiebing's Leather Sheen (not the aerosol). It worked exactly as I'd hoped... I feel like the leather finish on the Aeon V2 LE is pretty much the same as the Sentinel V4 now... My friend came over with his Aeon V4, so I did his too... He loves the feel of the grip and just below the emitter now...

Check 'em out...
