Introduction

Welcome to a wonderful world of magical wands! With their rich history and eye-catching style,

whether or not you are a believer in the magic, you cant deny the power and aesthetic of a handmade

wooden wand. Wands can easily be customized for their recipient witches, wizards, and fans of favorite

magical stories, and this book presents twenty enchanting designs to cover all kinds of tastes and

woodworking techniques!

The wands in this book are divided up into four sections based on the technique used to create them:

hand carving, scroll saw, turning, and power carving. If you already have experience in one of these

methods, you may feel drawn to start in that section. But the great thing is, each of the four sections

includes a quick primer on the basics of the technique, so if youve never tried the method before, you

can easily learn the essentials and start experimenting with wands in a new woodworking style.

Each wand is presented with a full materials and tools list and step-by-step instructions to guide you

through the crafting process, and patterns are provided when needed. You can have fun choosing the

woods you want to use, tweaking the paint or gem colors, and otherwise customizing each design to

maximize its magical potential.

Its time to tap into your spellcasting skills and conjure up some unique wooden wands!

Wand Wood Properties

& Personalities

Every project and woodworker is different. Many of the projects in this book include recommendations for types of wood to

use, but you dont have to follow those to the letteryou can choose a wand wood to suit the magical purpose of the wand or

the person who will be wielding it! Read on for a selection of woods and their magical properties.

Ash

Hardy and dense with a pronounced grain similar to oak,

ash meshes best with wizards who are strong but dont like

to brag about it. Integrity, bravery, and patience are all

qualities found in owners of these wands.

Aspen

Pale and springy, this material is well suited to a variety of

finishes. Likewise, the aspen wand is drawn to those with

strong communication skills who adapt well to a range of

circumstances. Diplomatic and quick on their feet, these

wizards often find their mediation and public speaking

skills strengthened in aspens presence.

Alder

Although moderately soft, pliable, and understated in color,

this hardwood is not for the faint of heart! Best suited to

optimists with a keen sense for other peoples emotional

needs, alder wands enhance good judgment in those

wielding them.

Apple

Dense and tough with a vibrant grain, apple wood is the

perfect choice for creative wizards filled with a zest for

life. If you find yourself feeling particularly generous and

effusive while casting a spell, this may be the wand bringing

your best qualities to the surface.

Aspens, like these quaking aspens in Utah, often grow in large groves and show stunning fall colors.
