"Devil Sticks"?

Would anyone happen to know what material this is made of?

 

 

It's a friends and he says it's from a juggling set. I looked online and it looks like they call them "devil sticks" or something.

 

Anyway, I'm trying to make a short star wars fan film with my friend and I think if I could get a longer piece of this material (about a meter; 3 feet) it would make the perfect lightsaber blade.

 

Lucasfilm used carbon tubes but those are out of our price range...

 

Better yet, I think it would be even better if we could find a rubber tube with small enough diameter so that it would fit comfortably.

 

Someone said on another forum that it was fiberglass...but too me it feels more rubbery...

 

Any ideas?

Looks like spiral-wrapped leather to me.

 

I swear to god I was going to say the same thing. It really does look like that. Iron taped around tightly with leather or a carbon fibre sheet.

IF it helps then look up on google how to make a hose. Looks pretty much similar. ( saw in on "how its made" on discovery )
