Hey everyone. I'm super excited to show off my new magic wand I made it today. All together it cost less than ten USD but I don't think I could ever sell it. Here are the specs
2.1 oz 14 3/4 inch length solid wood shaft 2 3/4 inch brass ends Half inch copper wand tip protector Weighted (nails) at each end for easier spinning Sanded and Stained to protect the wood Half Inch Diameter Full Wand Photo Bad Tip Photo Better Tip Photo Not at all a wand that could work for everyone but I needed something. I haven't ever owned a wand (it is my style though) until now so I can't compare it to anything. I was inspired by Tabman and Bill Palmers Golden Rod. Building my own magic equipment is so much fun. (So far I've made The Thing -Bill Abbott, magic table, crystal tube illusion, and now this) Any comment, question, or concern would be appreciated very much. Anyways thanks for letting me share that and taking the time to read it! Christian (I posted this here because it is my Cups and Balls Wand)

Very nicely done. You are correct making your own props is fun, and should anything go wrong with it, you will always know where to get another one.

How much did you pay Potter for that?

That looks like a fairly hefty wand. Nice work!

Thanks for the comments! I almost did have to buy new parts when I drilled the hole but luckily my last peice of 14 inch wood didn't split. I think this wand could stand up to light banging but not heavy thumping. Though I think Whit Haydn's wand is a bit more hefty

I don't do a lot of work with wood so I need to ask one question. Is there anything that can give the wood a little bit more grip? I can spin it fine but more grip never hurts. I'm thinking about my violin varnish but something more durable? If not, no problem.
Tarbell!
