The " Menace Project" A Grey Jedi's Saber

[Bulvoy]

Ok short read But I AM DONE , After 4 different paint jobs, and numerous changes until i was satisfied, she's done
  Just a side note this Raven pommel makes the  POB balance Perfect just up onto the blade , compared to the original pommel which is too light.Moved the Covertec wheel to the bottom ( for better carry). removed and sealed some of the decorative buttons, the black paint finish  on the emitter and pommel, was an experiment. tried a splash, hated it.... tried a brush hated it.... tried a crackle paint  hated it.... tried a wrinkle  hated it...... so the experiment came out  something i liked, basically, black paint base- dry, applied a thin layer of wood glue ( yes wood glue), then another layer of black, mashed that around with some saran wrap, then hit it with a hair drier close and far for some effect. Done,
                                 Distressed leather wrap, sandpaper for distress, sealed with tandy sheen. added leather cord design, to cap off the edging on wrap i slapped 2 O rings in the edge grooves, added my electro etched medallion. Im sure im forgetting to mention stuff, but was an over haul.  I will be making some other post on the blade plug, and a small written & pic tutorial on my leather wrap process which i had promised some of you a while back,                          BEFORE>>>>>

                                                    INTRO FOR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>






If your wondering why the color looks funy, I didnt feel like plugging it it to take the Pulse mode off

I'm just gonna hang out here and give you points for a while. The custom emiter end with the engravings and that awesome blade plug, that is effing amazing. Don't know what distressed is but guessing that how you got the leather super tight, and that triangle in it is also awesome. While it probably tiny little touch I like the most, the black button to accent the painted emiter piece just frelling sings to me nice work.

I've gotta say, when you do a customization, you go all out! Outstanding job, Bulvoy! The Raven SS pommel looks great on it, and I love the hilt wrap and emitter engraving. Will definitely give you a point now and come back for another later

Thanks the distressing was just scrunching the leather up hitting it with an iron then lightly sanding the high parts to give it a worn look. The tight wrap method I use is wetting it so I can stretch it. I will be uploading a tutorial with pictures I already took along the way on this.

Thank you sir , I like it too . Pommel not only for looks it actually puts the pob ( point of balance) onto the blade right below emitter like it should be

It's a lovely saber, well conceived and excellent work in the customization.

I still like Paladin Justice better, though.  It's just got so damned much elegance, and is near aesthetic perfection for the Manticore hilt.  I dearly wish they had a Dark Manticore, because I would jump all over the chance to do a counterpoint to that saber.

That's some mighty fine customisation on the menace bulvoy..

Would look awesome as a staff for a desert jedi..

I agree Darth Nelo

[Hansrad]

I don't think there's a word for that. Awesome seems rather weak. It's amazing. I really like the desert look black paint and the blue on the emitter. The leather wrap is pretty amazing. They need to install a multiple point button for this one.

I just keep coming back to give him more.
