Elder Wand: Part Two

As I'm making an Elder Wand out of a branch, I am also making one out of a dowel. No special reason for there to be two, other than the branch will never be perfectly straight.

Safety, again is a factor when working with any sort of tools or sharp objects, so be careful.

Step 1: Materials

Materials list...

1. Stick, dowel, branch, 1x1, any "carveable" piece of wood that you want to make into a wand.
2. Knife
3. Sandpaper
4. Saw
5. Rasp
6. Lacquer (optional)
7. Paint (optional)

Very nice job (for a Muggle) considering you didn't use a lathe! ;)

[canucksgirl]

Maybe I didn't... the author said, "who says I'm a muggle?"

I wish I'd had one, that would have been so much easier. But who says I'm a muggle? Lol ;)

Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed! When I first saw it I thought "yay you found a lathe somewhere" but... you didn't. Great job!

[TheGeek1984]

Well a lathe would be nice, but I like to work with my hands. Keeps me from playing with fire...knives...y'know, things that could hurt me. lol

Haha I hear ya. (but fire is so much fun! :P)
I'm terrible at hand carving things, but you made everything look so easy that this will probably be my first "real" project, sometime in the future. Thanks for sharing!

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors! Post a pic when you finish!
