"For those who wish to make their own wooden wand, there are four primary woodworking techniques covered here, each addressed by an expert artisan woodworker: hand carving, scroll saw, turning, and power carving. A brief history of the presence and uses of wands in a variety of cultures, from ancient Greece to northern European societies, culminates with a nod to wand lore in current popular culture. A guide to types of wood includes information about physical qualities as well as the more mystical attributes ascribed to each (this book does not make any claims about magic, instead framing this aspect in the context of what has been said by others). Each expert provides information about the required materials and tools used in that technique, followed by instructions for completing five unique wand designs. Step-by-step photos and instruction are accompanied by diagrams that can be photocopied as well as close-up color images of each completed project. A basic knowledge of woodworking and tool use is assumed. Safety information is included throughout. -- ""Booklist"" The Compendium of Wooden Wand Making Techniques is a whimsical, fun quest into wand making. From carving to turning, you'll find a technique to suit your skill level. -- ""Logan Wittmer, Editor in Chief, Popular Woodworking"""
