Makeing Medieval Wands like Harry Potters

Hello Everyone I'm Shadowalker and I'm going to show how you can make your own wand like the one you see above, but be warned...The wands I show you how to make are the same ones I sell to witches. So be careful what you wish for since the powers that be up-stairs have a wicked sense of humor and you'll get what you wish for but not exactly the way and how you may have hoped for......... FIRST STEP: Material You need to get a branch from any kind of tree about the diameter of a quarter. Please don't go and cut one off a living tree. One: Green wood is to hard to carve and work with. Two: Would you want some damn fool to cut off one of your limbs to make something like.....Oh I don't know.... Say ....Stew!!.... You can walk around and find branches that has fallen off a tree ( it is a custom in the witches world to leave a gift to the tree that the limb fell off of. Look around for a nice rock and place it next to the tree ( it may sound strange, but when dealing with nature do you really want piss off something that might come back to haunt you..) ) or you can go to a landscape company to make a deal with them to get one (but make sure it's not green . Ask the landscaper he'll be able to tell you. I live out by a lake so I have plenty of wood to use. The length of the branch should be cut to the length from your elbow to the tip of your middle finger ( yes the one you show to people that piss you off.... ( and your mother would slap you for if she sees you doing it....)). As you can see in the picture it's cut to length and still has it's bark on it...

This wood is from an apple tree that was blown down during an ice storm. Now we get to move onto the next step.......... SECOND STEP: Skinning Skinning means to remove the bark and the twig nubs from the wood you are working with. You now get to use the most important tool that you need.... A pocket knife. You need a steel blade knife not a stainless steel one. A stainless steel knife is fine for cutting meat or stabbing you neighbor ( THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED! Not unless you think you can get away with an insanity plea and you really hate the guy....) this type of knife really won't hold an edge. My advise is an Old Timer pocket knife that you can buy at Wal-Mart. Old Timers are not that expensive. Now you carefully cut the bark off the wood. Cutting away from your body and FINGERS. If you forget this I'll introduce you to my friend " Three Fingers Nick..... " He Forgot that lesson. When you are done it should look like the picture you see....

This should keep you busy till my next post where I'm going to show you how to shape your wand and the tools you will need to work with.. Til the next post.... Blessed be.... See You and please send comments about this blog at shadowalker48@yahoo.com, because it's my first one ever.... Also I you Wish to order a wand made for you please contact me at my E-mail... I leave you with a true story. This happened many years ago. I going through P.O.S.T. (Police Officer Scholastic Training in California and for one of my classes I had to sit through a court case and take note for class. I was sitting in on a murder case where the confessed to shooting her husband in the head and killing him in the process. The Prosecuting attorney was standing before the Judge and Jury stating that the woman willfully and intentionally shot her husband in the head when all of a sudden the woman jumps up yelling " I object... I didn't intentionally Shoot that S.O.B in his fat head. I came home from work and caught him in bed with some young bitch and I was going to go all Lorana Bobit on his ass, but he hid all the knives. I remembered that he kept his gun in the drawer by the back door because he was always telling me he was going to shoot me in the ass when I was bent over to work on my garden that way the police would never find the bullet hole. So I took the gun and ran into the room. My husband jumped to his feet and I took aim and missed... I didn't mean to shoot him in that dead head on his shoulders I meant to shoot off the one between his legs that actually did his thinking for him. " I MISSED...". The Judge asked her if she was a threat to society. " No. Just the next damn fool man I'm with because I'm going to learn to shoot a gun and next time I'll blow that little prick off......" Moral to this story is If your going to cheat on your wife /girlfriend make sure they don't know where you keep your bloody gun or the next time your friends say your prickles ... They will be right... or your going to go around half cocked for the rest of your life... Good Night All.....
