If you don't mind me asking, where do you get this cord?

Amazon.com.  Just search for 2mm leather cord, it should come from some scrapbooking supplies company.

Wow, Dark Standard looks fantastic! One of the things that makes it hard for me to get that hilt is the all the dry space in the middle of it. I love the emitter, and the placement of the grooves, just wish there were one or two someplace else as well. This wrap solves all of that in spades. Again, it looks just great!

I used some old shoe laces from my Chuck Taylor Converse to do the Tsukamaki wrapping on my Liberator. It works great but leather would prolly work better haha

I bought a saber staff so that I could play around with matched dual wielded sabers.  They had to be properly wrapped of course.  I went with a different style this time, it creates less bulk in your hands but still provides an excellent grip.

Pretty nice looking.  I was thinking of doing some leather wrapping of my Dominix (it's an older model, the PVC one).  Does anybody know a good source for like leather strips?

or hockey tape
You can also use self-vulcanizing tape. Works for me, it looks like rubber feels like rubber but it has a nice texture and grip to it.
