It is 100% handcarved (including the vine and leaves) out of a birch dowel with flexcut whittling knives, sanded with 100, 300, and 600 grit sandpaper, painted with black acrylic and accented with silver leaf, and finished with a brush-on acrylic varnish. The celtic knot design and handle swirls were done with a woodburning tool.

There are a lot of resources out there to learn! But the most critical thing is to give it a try, and just start. Good luck!

I watch people's versions of wands and to this date, none have the beauty as this one has. Kind of like looking at Bic pens vs. Unibal .... major dif.

I really love this one!! But isn't it hard with the leaf crafting??

PraeclarusWands In reply to EsmeeTheCat [2012-04-02 20:24:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!! yeah, it kind of is XD But there's always a degree of difficulty when you're trying something new...but totally worth it! (If you're interested, I posted a WIP of the leaf carving here:[link] )

You're welcome!! That's true, i was thinking to make my own wand my self I have, from the steps you took it looks amazing ^_^

PraeclarusWands In reply to EsmeeTheCat [2012-04-03 18:11:34 +0000 UTC]

That's great! Are you thinking about sculpting a wand (that's always a neat and easy way to go about it) or carving one?

EsmeeTheCat In reply to PraeclarusWands [2012-04-04 18:29:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but my design is not finished yet. Erm, my English isn't very good.. What's the difference between the two?

PraeclarusWands In reply to EsmeeTheCat [2012-04-04 18:50:34 +0000 UTC]

Sculpting means using clay to make the handle and details, and carving means using a knife to form the wand out of a single piece of wood. I'd love to see your design when you're finished!

EsmeeTheCat In reply to PraeclarusWands [2012-04-05 16:28:50 +0000 UTC]

Ah i understand now. Well i think i'll be carving but i will see what i'm going to do. I first need to finish my design but i will show it you for sure!!
