Hand Crafted Walnut & Maple Wand

Hand Crafted Walnut & Maple WandThis Wand is BroomCastle Wands design, BW 42. It is crafted from both the wood of a Walnut tree and a Maple tree.

This particular wand was first pieced together by turning one end of the Maple  down to a 3/8″ x 2″ dowel while one end of the Walnut was drilled out to the same measurement. Both ends were then glued together and held in place for 3 days to dry. Finally the now solid piece was turned on a lathe and shape according to the drawings created for Wand design BW 42. If you didn’t realize it every wand that BroomCastle Wands creates is first sketched on paper, then made into a final drawing to a 1/2 scale.

BroomCastle Wands – Wand BW 23

BroomCastle Wands BW 23

 

This Wand design has been quite popular since it’s inception in May of 2011. The design was created to be reminiscent of the Celtic tradition of the eternal knot with no apparent beginning or ending. Every Wand BroomCastle Wands creates is one of a kind, however they are for the most part based on one of about 75 different current designs of our creation. So although some may look similar in appearance they all deviate somewhat from the original design. thus far this design has been made from either from the wood of an Oak or Maple tree.
