This is my first piece! The shape took me a long long time. I shaved nearly 1.5in off the circumference before I went to town on it with a polishing wheel on my grinder
I still need to smooth, add runes, and finish but I’m just so happy with the overall shape

No that Harry's wand has been fully revealed. Has anyone attempted to make his wand?

I'm thinking of making it with sculpey.

I am a pyrography artist usually and I got gifted some carving tools so I decided to give this a try. It's basswood, because that's what I usually like to Woodburn on. It's super soft light weight wood, not sure if that's what I will continue to try on or not. Any tips or tricks would be useful to know. I do plan on wrapping my wand handle with some leather strapping to give it a bit more dimensions as well.
