Crafting a wand is a very delicate process. We suggest that you design your own wand, utilizing combinations of materials listed below, melded with the design features you have observed in the image galleries: GALLERYI & GALLERYII... or of which you yourself have conceived.  You may also want to consider a custom crafted stand to safely display your wand.

We will tell you if we cannot or would prefer not to implement a design or design feature. For instance, we discourage the use of (most) burlwoods in the shaft of a wand (as opposed to the handle) as they tend to lack tensile integrity and do not hold up well under heavy use. There are certain material combinations that are not conducive to the transmission of metaphysical energy sufficient to effect a spell.

If you do not feel that you are familiar enough with the materials listed to make a determination, then try to give us a sense as to your preferences regarding color and shape and we will endeavor to forge a stick that suits you.

Occasionally we will reject a commission out of hand, if we cannot, in good conscience, countenance the potential predestinate consequences. Should this occur, please accept our apologies and kindly do not press for an explanation.

The structure of (most of) our wands is divided thusly:

We also fashion a variety of all silver endcaps as well. Occasionally we may wheedle a Celtic influenced endcap out of Jerry Gehringer, a noted Colorado gold and silversmith. Give us an idea, anthropomorphic or thematic for instance and we will present it to Jerry to see what he might create. Patience is required in this event, but it is well worth the wait.  In any event, every wand is trimmed in hand wrought and/or pattern sterling silver unless otherwise specified.
