This is the real deal! A magic wand that actually floats in thin air. I got the idea when after introducing my kids to the Harry Potter franchise, my daughter asked me to make her a magic wand. I turned her one quickly on the lathe and off she went casting spells on her brother. The next day she...

So My friend approached me to have me make him a magic wand with a secret compartment. This compartment would hold the engagement ring that he would use to propose to his girlfriend at the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter at Universal , Orlando. I started by power carving the logs into the rough...

Granddaughter Hope got this magic wand (Hermione Granger's) from Harry Potter Worlld. Rather than hide it in its box, she asked me to make a display stand for it. The base is white pine, I think, and the supports are twigs from a sycamore tree next door. I sketched some twigs and leaves on...

There was an "extra" present from Santa this year. It seems the fairies gave him this wand to wrap and deliver to our little one. Along with a scavenger hunt, several clues in rhyme leading her around the house, and eventually telling her what to say to conjure up their fairy door, and the gift...

Hi folks :) I haven't participated in a while. Spring and summer rolled in and it was too hot to be in the workshop, then I ended up spending most of my free time working on my old car through the summer. I made this for my younger son's birthday. He is, of course, a fan of Harry Potter, and...

This is what happens when it rains and I get bored. Just garbage pallet wood, stained and painted. This cured about 3 hours of my boredom. I put it on ebay as soon as it was done. You can find it here.

Magic wand life is full of magic; if we remember to put it there I have a saying: 'Life is full of magic; if we remember to put it there'. The wand was not a project I intended to do… It came like magic, while I was experimenting to make imitated bamboo on the lathe. In this process, the...

A project embarrassingly easy for this web site - still, here we are :-) . Make a floating wand, or levitation stick. A very simple DIY woodworking project, this "magic" wand is easy to make, easy to carry and entertains to no end. It requires maybe a couple of hours total effort to make...

My nine-year old grandson recently discovered Harry Potter and is deeply into the second book. I made this wand for him from padauk (that's what Lee Valley had in stock when I went looking). It felt so good in the hand that I left it unfinished. The Certificate of Authenticity was just for fun...

My kids wanted magic wands. Since I had no idea what exactly to do, I made these. No plan. No finish. I cut a piece of 3/4" by 3/4" stock and spindle turned it. I think they turned out alright.
