Default Lightsaber Peppermill
I know it's not carving but I just thought you might enjoy seeing what I made for my brother's birthday. It's about 11 inches long and it's design is based on the lightsaber that Luke Skywalker uses in Return of the Jedi. I made it so that it holds both salt and pepper.

I made it out of poplar and the base/holder is made from cypress.

I love it! My Star Wars fan son (9 yo) tells me that it's Obi Wan's lightsaber not Luke's. I'm not sure why, but he's quite certain of it.

Nice work, did you make it on a lathe or a mill?

Very clever Dylan. I'm sure he'll love it.
I didn't realize there were so many differences between the lightsabers details, or that each character has his own special one.
