 Indeed they are faces, totems of great power.... Its my first staff using dragon tears, and I think that it came out pretty good, I may use them more often..

 it is beautiful! Very lovely job! I like the dragon tears!
I would keep the finish light.
I will be bringing new staffs to Scarby- but ones I had at TRF.

Tis not the length of the staff- but the magick there in!

 I have been working on wonderful magical new wands and staffs!  I have 2 new staffs and one still in the works. Pictures- when I get my computer nargles sorted out- or see me at TRF!  It feels good to be creating again!!!

 The third staff is still underway- but nearly done. Lots of crystals on it!  They are at Authentic Wardrobe at TRF. Next to Angell swords!

Images of my new horseless carrige, my leach has advised me to quit traveling so much by flying carpet and get some exercize...
Tremayne has come along for the ride as well as work out, on occasion.

Queen Bonnie

 Very cool Alphonse! Looks like a fun way for a wizard to get around! Thanks for the pictures!

Indeed, when we ride around Tremayne's block we draw the attention of all the kids, some the braver ones even join us for rides. It is an excellant work out,lol I can still feel it from the weekend. Being a wizard, you can imagine that I have some ideas of modifications I intend to make to it as soon as I can get it to a black smith and present my suggestions. The stearing needs some attention and I may add a canvass sun shade as well...

Queen Bonnie

 Sounds like fun! I can see how you would be popular with the kids! Wizards usually are!

My daughter is turning 11 - as you all know, an age of great importance in the Harry Potter universe. I decided to make her a wand. I whittled the wood, sanded it and stained it. I also made one for the youngest, so he wouldn't be too jealous. I got a couple of trading card storage boxes for free from a local sports card store, painted them black, then (with my wife's help) installed fabric-covered foam cushions, complete with wand-shaped cutouts. My mother-in-law did the lettering for labels made from placecards. Here's the finished products:


Ends of both boxes.



Chiane's wand - dogwood with a core of unicorn tail hair, 10-7/8 inches, unyielding.



Ian's wand - aspen wood with a core of dragon heartstring, 7-1/2 inches, rigid.

Those are awesome Dustin! I would have loved my own Magic Wand as a youngster. I used to disconnect the long handle from Dad's shop push broom, and that would suffice as my Wizard's staff.

So much fun in this thread...

Queen Bonnie

 That is a wondrous wand Dustin!  And I love the box too.!11 is  the perfect age for a wand. Hand made ones are the best. Alas. I wish I knew how to post pitctures here. I have many wands and staffs for sale- you can see them at Sherwood Forest faire.
