My Daughter's Wand

After making wands for me and my wife, I wanted to make one for my daughter so that we would have a complete set. We looked online for ideas, and once she settled on a design I turned the wand from a piece of mahogany. My wand and my wife's wand both feature carved elements, but my daughter wanted something a little different. I engraved the swirl pattern into the handle and then painted the swirls with gold enamel paint.
The wand measures 14 inches long, and is finished with Danish Oil.
This is the first time I've tried recording myself using the lathe, and in hindsight I should have known that the camera location wasn't great. Live and learn.
I enjoy making wands, and I wanted to have a little fun at the end of the video. It's nothing special - just playing around in After Effects. Although now I have some ideas for other projects.
Now that the wands are done, I plan to make a small display stand to hang on the wall.

Any form of art which requires you to subtract material away in order to reach the final piece is extremely respectable in my opinion, one mistake and it's finished, you're starting over. The amount of patience you must have to do that kind of work is astonishing. The wand you made was incredible and I'm sure she adores it!!

@Snakeplisskin440 4 года назад

Love the soundtrack, Super Monkey. This was very cool. A wand made of some really dark black walnut is on my list of things I wanna create. That and somehow make a wood cover version of all the books. I just got into wood over the last year and the possibilities are endless. I don't think it's something I could get bored of.

@Ashrune 3 года назад

@paralogia 7 лет назад

Why start with such a big piece of timber for such a small object? You could have made four wands out of the piece of wood.

@supermonkee48 7 лет назад

You are correct that a smaller blank would have worked. However, my chuck doesn't grip much smaller than that. I do intend to get a set of small jaws eventually for that very reason.

@paralogia 7 лет назад

Sounds reasonable. Why not just do it between centers? I make spurtles and wands from time to time from 1"x1"x14" pieces and it never occurred to me to chuck them up. Is there an advantage for chatter?

@supermonkee48 7 лет назад

Between centers is certainly an option. I prefer the jaws because I feel like I have more control over the piece, especially when it starts to get thin. It's mostly a personal preference.

@paralogia 7 лет назад

I tried it your way the other day out of curiosity and ended up breaking it as it got thin. Go figure. Whatever works for best is what you use.

@HaggisFist 7 лет назад
