areynoldsre Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 The top one looks the best to me. Good work. But remember that in Potter's world, "The wand chooses the wizard." yeah I've read all the books and seen all the movies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Pants Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 hmmmmmmm that might be fun cherry for evil but what for green? might have to buy stain. A small fortune in greenheart? Oh and you'd want bloodwood for evil not cherry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jHop Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I do a bunch of these by stock removal with a dremel-type sander. How long does it take you on the lathe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Poplar can be very green! I made a batch of wands for my step daughters, the curly maple one started a battle over who got to play with it. Swish and flick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take you on the lathe? 15 min or so depends on how well the wood turns and how complicated you make them Poplar can be very green!
