Harry Potter inspired wands WIP

[UkkosTrombone]

I have a group of coworkers who love Harry Potter, working on custom wands for them. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Love those... what size (length) are they?

I've been making some Wands recently, based on Harry Potter but they quickly take a life of their own.
I'll grab some pics.

11” and 13.5”, way too much fun! How are you finishing yours? Mine are acrylic paint, so far.

I’ve been using wood stain and boiled linseed oil finish.

Beautiful looking wands! Love the bone. We're sculpted and molded or carved?

The handle is epoxy putty sculpted, quickly, then shaped a bit more once set. Acrylic paint on a really sh*tty chip brush makes the texture. The rest of the wand is pine dowel shaped on a benchtop belt sander. The other one is two sizes of dowel and hot glue for the “vines.” Same chip brush for the texture.

These are looking great so far! I really like the texture you’ve managed to achieve. I’ll be following this thread with great interest.

Hey, wood stain and burning mainly.. I'll remember to take some snaps tonight.. They start off with a HP theme but quickly turn into something else. A little more gnarly and "boney"

Here are the finished wands, and my coworkers, they were pleased. We work in a school and they carried them around all day
