Saber Forum

Anybody know anything about sand carving? I talked to a guy at a trophy shop that recommended it for my Aeon that I want some Aurebesh lettering added to. He showed me a sample and said they take a thin layer of metal off to achieve the effect. He also told me it may darken a tick over time, which could only increase the contrast (an effect I find positive). He told me I can get it done for somewhere between $25 and $40. Thoughts?

That sounds awesome ! And the color change will add a killer weathering effect!!

I'll make sure to post pics if (more like when) I get it done.

This sounds interesting!  Is there any more info you can provide, or possibly a hyperlink.  I would be interested in what it looks like, colors available (if any), Is it like metal engraving on plaques?

Edit...I found a site that explains  http://sandcarving.net/ (http://sandcarving.net/)

I think you have me convinced to do this to mine too....

Just have no idea what I would put on it yet....

What type of place offers this type of service?

I just walked in to a local trophy shop. I imagine that any such place in your locality might offer similar services, plus is cool to support local businesses.

This is so cooool! I had asked a person about getting an etching or carving or whatever to put my desired images and aurebesh words into a lightsaber hilt permanently and got told that it couldn't be done on a curved surface. This proves that it can, and hopefully once I can get a saber I will start at the local trophy shops.

Thanks a ton for the knowledge! You get a point ;)
