walkgin Stick Septor staff and wand making project

How to Make Magic Wand walking Stick septors
Earlier I posted the start of how to make walking sticks and magic wands with inlaid crystals. Here are four finished pre-shellac finished wands. Three of them have quartz crystals and one magic wnds has a tourmaline crystal (its a gem) securely inlaid on the ends using techniques described in the how to hand make wood walking sticks and staffs guides.

One of the most important steps is the method of securing the stones to the wood. Just gluing them doe not work. Its a simple process of wood carving, a bit of rock grinding, and other steps detained in how to make walking sticks guides. NO the wire does not hold in the crystals on the end magic wand.

In addition,. three wands have copper wire wrapping with the ends of the wires hidden from view.  The how to make walking sticks, hiking and wizard staffs goes through A to Z starting from how to collect walking sticks wood, sanding, staining, carving, stone inlay, wire wrapping and best f all wood carving great sticks.

The wood uses in the magic wand making project above is willow collected in Utah a couple years ago. The wood was too thin for a wood walking stick staff so I cut it into 5 pieces to make wizard magic wands for friends who are we into the Harry Potter movies and books. The magic wands with the large quartz crystal and the tourmaline (dark crystal) crystals were kept in my collection of walking sticks for reference for how to make walking sticks, wizard staffs rock inlays.

I added the complete project to the how to make wood walking sticks and staffs guides as a bonus project. this is the second project recently added but not advertised on the website. To do this walking stick making project you will need to know  how to wire wrap, a bit of simple wood carving, sanding, inlay stones, staining and  other techniques in walking stick and staff making. If you want to make wizard sticks the process and techniques are the same. In fact, the wands are miniature wizard staffs.
