They look great fun Peter .. I've never seen wands like these,are they magic wands ?

 

[Terry]

Interesting project Peter. Very nice!!!!

 

[Kardav]

Bet your daughter and her friends love these wands. Good job with plenty of 'brownie' points.

 

[Goulss]

Very nice.

The holly represents life as it is green all year round. It is also a masculine tree of warrior magick and spiritual strength. It calls upon the seeker to recognise inner strengths.

 

[Grump]

Fantastic mate they look real pucker init?
You did mention these and the price and I can see why now.
Brilliant, well done sir.

 

[paulm]

A fantastic idea and they look very nice. Do they need re-charging or does the magic last forever?

 

[bluntchisel]

It was great fun to turn especially as they are very green. They are supposed to be magic wands, but I can't get them to work

They were gobsmacked so I am pleased.

Very nice.

Thanks, yes I have looked at the folklore of different woods/trees and it is quite interesting.

Thanks Brian, I am pleased with them and want to try some more before my boredom levels rise. I'm not sure she could sell them for the silly money she says she can, but good luck to her if she can.

Thanks. Being magic wands they are supposed to self charge, but they need a strand of unicorn hair inside them, but I can't find any on ebay.

Thanks. I think I have worked out a way to give me more offset than these had, so I will try it on the next ones.

Peter, I've found a uni corn for you

Oh dear you must be bored init?

 

[Grump]

Peter

Use the headstock on one lathe and the tailstock on another, turn between two lathes.
That should offset it enough.:pray::pray::pray:

Peter, I've found a uni corn for you

But it's bald, not a single strand of hair

Thanks Woody, I bet they would love them. I trimmed a holly tree in the garden last week and saved a few of the thinner branches, wish I had saved more now. The neigbours garden has some big holly and we are going to take a few branches of and I am going to try and spalt some and try to dry some of it. Are yours dry?
