Oxidised oak looks really good with a few layers of beeswax. Nice video 👍

[@JohnClothier]

Peter Curtis Thanks. Is that you RFriday?

[@petercurtis9297]

Yep

[@JohnClothier]

+Peter Curtis fantastic! Great to hear from you. How did you come across my channel?

[@petercurtis9297]

Started woodworking myself about 2 years ago. Glynn sent me a link but I saw you before but I wasn't sure it was you.

[@petercurtis9297]

I saw you first through average joe I think.

[@sjscreations2608]

Great job John, you explain things well and don't shy away from what you consider an error or mistake I.e should of used wire to burn the handle. I love the finished product. Cheers Sean

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Sean. Its all experience and we learn from our mistakes

[@sjscreations2608]

The Woodworking Shed mistakes, what mistakes I don't make them, because I'm too chicken Sh.t to put a video on the tube.....Sad isn't it. I think I need to ball up and just give it a go. Cheers Sean

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Barry

[@michaelgarland1337]

Beautiful 😍 !!!

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

Wow, awesome wand John. Love the scorching technique and the gold leaf looks tricky! Them 'smoother-offer's' don't half come in handy. Very nice job.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Stephen. Sometimes the brain just wants you to sound silly and the smoother offer was just one of those occasions. lol

[@SupBro-ww9go]

This is the most beautiful wand I've seen

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks!

[@woodturningwithDave]

Great wand John and Great video :)

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it

[@joaozin-o9x]

I am enjoyed too!

[@PaulLockwood]

Well done John, looks great! Several different processes in their all worked well together.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Paul

[@Create2make]

Great wand John, looks really nice. Burning the wood made it very dark and a great contrast to the yew

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Paul

[@paulhitchcox9110]

Realy nice I love doing wands

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Paul.

[@AverageJoesJoinery]

Nice one John! Love the gold guilting wax effect. That worked really well 👍

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Joe

[@merlinstrangetheaceofwands1050]

Awesome wand, oak being a powerful wand wood and yew a bit of a dark wand wood in the wizard of world. Like yew being a wand wood of evil

[@JohnClothier]

Thank Merlin. I do think of this as a bit of an evil wand!

[@PrintAndPlayPodcast]

Very nice! That's going to make a Potter fan very happy 😁

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Felbrigg

[@gabrielzygel1539]

I know this has nothing to do with the video, but I just have got to say it. You look like a very nice person.

[@JohnClothier]

Thank you. That is a really nice thing to say.

[@luckyguy71]

That is a beautiful piece. Do you have a website where you sell your work?

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Guy. I do have a website but I don't currently sell through it.

[@luckyguy71]

Well if you ever decide to open a store on ebay or anywhere else please let me know. I've been looking for an Oak and Yew wood piece for a long time and your finished product was truly beautiful. Thanks for this video.

[@JohnClothier]

@@luckyguy71 I think I may still have this if you are interested. If you contact me via my website, Facebook or Instagram I would be happy to discuss it with you

[@hraun2berg]

I like it. 👍👍👍

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks

[@Highlandboxes]

Love the wand John given me loads of ideas to use in the future thank you for sharing :-)

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Pam

[@renanbarbosa1887]

Can i do this wand on a mini woddturner ?

[@JohnClothier]

No reason why not

[@Plokman040]

Funny that I plan to build my skills as a wood worker by making Pottermore inspired wands, my workshop is as small as it gets till I move but till then I'm not going to be turning the wands carving them from branches and the like till I can set up my new lathe.

[@JohnClothier]

Sounds like you will have a lot of fun!

[@Plokman040]

Indeed my friend, I'm hoping to make my Grandpas proud and my dad's side of the family cause heaven knows my mom's side is proud but I never met as many relatives on my dad's side but I know three things about the Nimmos one we are Scottish descendants which I personally find awesome, Carpentry goes way back in that we once owned a lumber yard and we are practical artists combine that with my mothers emotional artistry and you got a perfect match. With my poppa as my biggest supporter I will definitely have fun and I hope your future projects are just as fun. @@JohnClothier

[@erimarkov3885]

I'd love to see you make a wand entirely out of Yew and employ the scorching technique to it.

[@JohnClothier]

Tyler Markov oooh that's an interesting idea! Thanks

[@erimarkov3885]

Of course! And I would hope you'd make a video on it, too! One question, though, do you have a store for commissions?

[@KkmakeUkv]

Great looking wand John, does it work? ;) I like the voice over type of the video I need to try that too.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Karol. of course it does! you saw me dissapear didnt you ;-)

[@WoodyWood]

Very good looking wand John I do love the scorching effect its one thing Ive yet to try but it makes a lot of difference(I'm also a big fan of Yew as well) I'm not on facebook and I don't do any turning videos but I am a turner Please tell me you don't tell your kids that wand is real and if they misbehave you will use it on them

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Graham. Well lets just say the boy thinks twice about touching it ;-)
