Wands anyone?

[lrawlins]

A few years ago my daughter asked for a wand for Christmas.

Since then I have made over 180 of them.

I sell my items at some local craft fairs and it is a delight to see the excitement some people have when they see them.

Bye for now,

I made one eons ago...shortly after Harry Potter came out. It's still floating around the house somewhere though the child I made it for recently turned 21!

I'm impressed with the nearly 200 you've made!

Cool idea,
Great job.

These look awesome. What finish do you use? Friction polish?

Very nice. What is the length. Would you say what your selling price is?

Nice workmanship I really like the first one with two different woods. Is the last one ebony?
I made one for a special request but haven't made any others. Like Terry q I would be interested in what you sell them for. Thanks

180 wands! Whoa! Nice work!

Nice wandage. I especially like the first one and the fact that you are adding cabochons or something similar to the tops.

It's a shame you just can't make one and then wave it around a bit to come up the rest.:wink:

They look great, I too have made a few, but not near that many.
Remember the wand chooses the wizard.

The woods I used left to right are:

Yellowheart & Purpleheart, Bubinga, Yellowheart and Wenge.

Wenge is really splintery stuff and you have to be careful not to get stuck too many times.

I made one for my daughter out of Ebony but the cost is too high to sell.

I finish them with friction polish

Prices start at 20.00 and up depending on the wood.

Children of all ages by them. One notable event was when two ladies bought a wand for one of their friends. They had a ball picking it out.

Thanks for the comments!
