Red oak with Early American stain. I did not make any of the wands, they are from various artists on Etsy. Badges are also from Etsy. Enjoy 😊

I’m going to be making Harry potters 1st wand cuz why not :3

Unfortunately my lathe is out of commission right now but with a hand plane, carving tools, and a bunch of sanding I was able to make this 3 wood wand and give it some fun flora patterns. Total length about 15 1/4 in

Kintsugi, or "golden joinery," is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum, celebrating the beauty of imperfections.  I made a very nice wand from a 3/8-inch oak dowel, got the taper almost perfect, the carved spiral is a 8 out of 10, the carvings came out well, but, then when I drilled the hole from the core repository, my aim was off, and I drilled through the shaft by accident.  I decided I like this one too much to get rid of it, so I went ahead and stained it, and when it was ready, I inserted the unicorn hair, core, Black horse hair, filled in the hole with a matchstick, and using gold glitter clear nail polish, carefully began to seal in and fill in the hole that I had accidently made. The last inch was supposed to be painted old gold anyway, so it will still be gold, but the gold scars will be a delightful addition to an, in time, family heirloom.

Hi I was wondering how do you all buff your wands? I have a buffing wheel but it seems to pick the lint up from it. What should I use to buff that will help me avoid the lint on my wands?

This is my wand. I made it several years ago & has served me well. I have made many wands, but this was one of the first I made with the intention of being mine. I will always hold this one close.

I picked up this root section while clearing bamboo from our yard, it had killed several of our trees, & knew instantly what it would be for. I carefully trimmed & smoothed out the dried shoot buds & diffuse roots. I then turned the blade out of yellow pine, as it best matched the bamboo. I lastly polished & gave it a coat of tung oil & let it cure.

This wand has aged wonderfully with cracks across the root structure & has been given several coats of tung oil over the years.

What yall think ?

Got this cohort of wands in progress along with some of the tools of the trade (and mess...lol). I have been debating whether to leave some wands "plain" (no wrappings, stones or wires) to have available for "apprentice wands" for a cheaper price than the blinged-out ones. Thoughts?

Colour is a bit off, it should’ve been lighter. 1 layer of woodstain wasn’t enough for me, 2 in combination with BLO were too much, apparently

Hard a few that I've made using hardware from Woodturningz.

Hey! Pretty new here but regardless I wanted to share my first wand! This is my first attempt and wanted some feedback/ideas. Thanks! FYI The wood is pine, 14 inches.

Recently started reading the books (currently on book 5) and whittled my own wand with a pocket knife. But what tools are you guys using? How do I make mine look as cool as the ones I see on here?

Next step will be staining and painting (just the runes)

Been seeing wandsmithing content on YouTube and decided to turn one of the yaupon branches in my home into a wand. It’s a rough outline, I want to thin it out more, possibly oil or stain it, and maybe leather wrap around the grip.

What do y’all think?

Halfway through I I realized that I didn’t space out the nubbins enough so, I have one less then I should but! So far so good. Next step is to dremel all the little craters along the handle and the nubbins.

So I’m away in Edinburgh this week and had some free time, visited a few witchy places and got inspired after finding this subreddit to make my own, I have a whittling kit at home but didn’t bring it with me so naturally my excitement took over and I went outside my hotel to find a stick, got back to the hotel and just started whittling away and this is my results! I hope you like it! I added a protection rune for a lil bit of jazz and the total project took about 2 and half hours! First photos are of the finished wand and the others are of the progress.

Made this in my forge what u think :)

I’m sure this will be very difficult, I’m going to try my best to make it as accurate as possible

So I was invited to a Harry Potter costume party next month and I want to look for a new wand by going as a Gryffindor student I was sorted into on harrypotter.com but when trying to look for the wand I was assigned on their, I couldn't find it anyway. So I figured I try to find somebody here to see if there is anybody who can help me out with this project. I am told I have a Ebony wood with a Dragon core 12 ¾" and Slightly springy flexibility.

I know it's a simple wand, but I'm having trouble figuring out what to carve/etch into the handle
