Conjuring up wooden wands might seem like a magical and mysterious process, but Compendium of Wooden Wand Making Techniques is here to show you how simple it can be! In this one-of-a-kind guide to making wands (written for woodworking muggles), you'll learn how to create 20 unique designs that are sure to delight and manage mischief! Hand-carving, power carving, scroll sawing, and woodturning are all covered, making this fantastical project book perfect for beginner to intermediate woodworkers. Get inspired by the gallery of beloved staff-carrying and wand-wielding characters from famous fantasy series Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, including Albus Dumbledore, Hermione Granger, Severus Snape, Gandalf, and Saruman. Woven throughout these gallery pages are images of wands you can make in the book that are thematically similar—but distinct from—those iconic wands and staves.
As inspiration strikes, use the included Wand Sketchbook section to design your own original wands! The Wand Sketchbook is a jumping-off point for sketching your design ideas, along with areas to include your original wand's name, wood type, length, core, and special skills. In the projects section, five wand projects are provided for each of the four woodworking techniques (hand-carve, power carve, scroll saw, and turn), along with helpful step-by-step instructions, clear photography, patterns, and materials and tools lists. Organized by technique, each section starts with a helpful overview of the carving method, plus painting and finishing tips, so you can get familiar with the basics before you begin. The designs include enchanting wands that any witch, wizard, or fantasy-lover can create, making this book perfect for any woodworker who favors one method, but is also interested in trying new ones! A fascinating guide to woods and their inherent magical properties is also featured for additional wizardly knowledge.
