"Vivaldi" features my first tests of acid etched surface patterns. The four panels feature stylized motifs representing the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter (based on Vivaldi's orchestral work, "The Four Seasons). To my mind, this saber's motif pays homage to a Jedi's faithfulness to the Code in all seasons of life: Birth, Youth, Service, and Death.

I set out to build this saber, entitled "Vivaldi", without any sketches or drawings. Here I begin with an internal component for the G-Core. I wanted to challenge myself to create something from scratch and "on the fly". Vivaldi is envisioned as an Old Republic styled saber, and will feature a heavily customized MHS body, external acid etching patterns, internal Reveal crystal chamber G-Core, and a Crystal Focus v6. The engraving represents the four seasons (hence "Vivaldi") of a Jedi's life.

Vivaldi is finally complete!
