Wands for my Grandsons

Here are five handmade wands that I have made for my Grandsons. they are (from top to bottom); 

Wooden wand with three headed dog decoration. The wand was cut from scrap wood with the dogs heads coming from a Harry Potter toy. The wand was painted and then polished.

A rough wood wand found in a playground. I have trimmed the bark from most of the shaft but kept some for the handle. The natural wood wand has been sealed with acrylic varnish.

Highly decorated wand that uses a teak wooden spoon for the main shaft and wood from a cheap wooden umbrella for the main parts. the imitation ivory section is a piece of white resin and the chrome decoration on the bottom is a chrome bolt. The carving on the ivory section was done with my Dremel and then painted dark brown.

The black ebony wand was turned on my make-shift lathe and then painted black before being polished with black shoe polish.

The Harry Potter wand was repaired as it had been snapped in two then detailed and painted with acrylics.

The longest wand is 14 inches long and the shortest is 11.5 inches.
