Magic Wands

Making a magic wand is fun and, well, magical.  For this one the customer wanted a wand, a display box that could be either set on a table, or hung from the wall, a bit of 'wand maintenance', and a hair from a Unicorn's mane to add the magic.  This one fills the bill on all levels.  The want itself is cherry, with cocobolo for the handle and two silver rings similar to the ultimate recipient's wedding band 'bookending" the grip.  The hair from a Unicorn's mane (retrieved from a magical violin bow) is visible from either end.  The maintenance kit is also from cocobolo, a small threaded box filled with a combination of walnut oil, beeswax, and a bit of carnauba wax; the same as the finish on the wand.  The box is from walnut with a bit of a bark inclusion adding a sense of a Wizard Supply Shop.

On initial contact i gave "shopdog turnery" the details on what I was looking for. He was quick to reply, and to the point. Gave a deadline that was met, and a product my wife loves. Well worth every penny and he has my highest recommendations to anyone looking for an excellent craftsman.
