Hi everyone, I've been making Harry-Potter-style wands for a while, and I've seen a few folks do some really interesting metalwork on their wands. I'd like to learn how to do this, but I don't even know what the process is called. In the attached picture, you'd have a wooden wand (the blue) with metal banding (gray) around the apex of the beads.
Can you fine folks help me identify what this is called, or give me some terms to use for Google/YouTube searches? I'd also be extremely pleased with any ideas about how to go about this.
I've seen people do "collars" where they're essentially using tubing to hide the join between two pieces. This looks different that that...as if the metal were added after the wand was turned in its entirety. I imagine this would involve some soldering, but, as I said, I'm clueless, and don't know where to look for answers. Any advice would be appreciated.
