Description My nephew is a huge Harry Potter fan, so last Christmas my dad & I made him his own magic wand, complete with storage case. We wanted it to look like something from Mr. Ollivander's wand shop

Materials: cedar, eucalyptus, brass, foam, paper, glue, paint

The case is made from cedar, and is lined with plastic foam covered in handmade paper to make a 'bed' for the wand. I'm not sure what kind of wood the wand is made from, we used a found piece from another project.

Approximate dimensions: L 20" x W 2 1/2" x H 1 3/4"

i love it!

the wand looks rather extremely thin, but no wand is the same, neither are those who practice the magic so they must all be unique

i love the case!
i'm going to make a wand today
i would LOVE to make a case for my wand if i have time to spare

well done

WOW yeah, what a present! What's at the core - dragon heartstrings, unicorn hair or phoenix feather?

Well, the maker of the wand was reluctant to divulge his secret, but I think it was a dragon heartstring

Yay useless information! My dad still does things the old-fashioned way.. hand-drawn graphics and hand-carved wooden signs. He has way more patience than I do!

Apparently, they thought that it was from a Harry Potter store at first! I think he did like it, but this kid is so polite it's always hard to tell for sure!
A death eater, eh? Better watch out for aurors!

Aurors hunt dark wizards.. so you'd better watch out! Apparently I'm a Gryffindor, so we'd be on different sides..
