FrankEV Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Your work is very nice. I was about to ask; What is their purpose?, until I noted your TAGs to the post. Do you put them to use "magicly speaking", or just for display? Subjects and projects like this needs a STORY to go with them to satisfy curiousity of dummies like me!

Subjects and projects like this needs a STORY to go with them to satisfy curiousity of dummies like me! Al Baggetta, a member here, designed several wand patterns that were featured in Scollsaw woodworking and crafts magazine. Another trio of wands were featured in the next issue. Fox Chaple has a new book out with additional patterns. They look like they could be good sellers so I am trying my hand at making them. Because of copyright issues I wanted to back away from the word "wand". Since my first name is Wichita and my business name is Wich's Wonders (a pretty good catchall) I decided to call them "Wich Sticks" a play on words from several directions. These are intended as something that looks "cool" on display. I make a small heart box with a locking pin that is held in place with a magnet, it takes a "magic wand"(dowel with a magnet) to open it. One of these "Wich Sticks" has a magnet in the tip so it can be used to open the box, just a fancy option. The stick with the crystal is just another attempt to make it fancy (so I can charge more).

RabidAlien Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Nicely cut! I wouldn't worry overly much about calling them "wands" or even "magic wands", those terms have been around for a lot longer than JKRowling has been. It'd be akin to someone trying to copywrite the word "car" because they used it in a book. Now, if you called them "Harry Potter Wands" or "Hogwarts Wands" or "Olivander's Wands", THOSE are specific to the world created by JKRowling and might raise a ruckus. Granted, I'm not a lawyer, but...I'd still call em "wands". danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
