Making the Elder Wand - From Real Elder Wood!

  • Yes, real elder wood! It's a nightmare to source and process because it's considered a weed in the UK and has no value as timber or firewood! You also need to find large enough trees with straight trunks so that timber can be harvested with avoiding the pitch which is like a sponge. Then you have to dry it... it loves to warp and split! But hey part of the mission to make every Harry Potter wand from real wood!

      @@garricksapprentice yes exactly! I was browsing for a wand through The Noble Collection (WarnerBros gave them the trademark for their molds of the wands they used on set), but realized they are all 15 inches and made of resin so that’s how I ended up here because I was searching for true wooden replica wands. I did however see someone ask if they are durable and NC replied by saying they use metal rods to sturdy up their wands, so that’s where my suggestion came from. But thank you for informing me it’s not possible and I went to the end of the video again and you’re right it would definitely cause the wand to break if you went through the middle with a drill, thanks for informing me because I plan to take a wood working class in college to learn this very skill and I would’ve definitely ended up using a rod!

    This *had* to be one of the more nerve wrecking ones you've made! I can only imagine the whole time you were carving it, especially considering you were using elder wood, which I'd never use due to the properties of the wood, that you were thinking "Don't break! Don't break!" .......Especially as it got narrower and narrower! I remember buying a wand online a few years back that someone made using elder.......It had a unique design, being square, instead of round, with diamond patterns......Likely to accommodate or work around these issues!

    Of course the number of grooves on the bottom part of the wand would be seven. I mean, all Potterheads know that’s the magical number in the HP series,

    What a cool video! Dare I say your elder wand looks even better! It looks more natural and has a brighter brown which I like. You are very skilled :)
