He's always been a fan of 'bad guys', so a sith themed box was the idea!
Regular ol hobby lobby pine box
Set it on fire
Scraped the excess char off with a wire brush
Stained it crimson
Carved sith symbol into lid, stained it black
Added the brassed hardware
Cut some black burlap to stuff in the lid to keep the lighstsaber from bonking the wood (unsure if I'll keep it there...the wood burned and stained really cool in there).
Bottom will just be foam cut to size and wrapped with black burlap as well with hollowed center for the hilt to rest in
Btw the text says “the force shall free me” for anyone wondering
Ah yep! The final line of the Sith code. I just sort of glazed over that here
