Andre, just something that came to my mind: if you ever make wands again, and make the twister wand, it might add an enhanced look to it if you add the end tips have a sort of reverse-taper design. Basically, after the twister part, have the end tip thinner there, and then gradually increase in thickness until the end. I think it would create a nice balance visually. Just something to consider. You have great work.

Hi, Bri

It looks like a great wand.....

I've found it easier to work with wood-wand. I used to use Mercury wand. It's a bit heavy. but with wood (in this case Ironwood wand) it's easier to manipulate

I notice you also have a wand made from Iron wood. would love to see it Smiley

Okay,

this is it guys, the final look of my wands

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q106/andrelimantara/Image015.jpg

A bit of review

The background :
I've been in searching for a wand which I can use with my "expensive" cups. So I decided go with wood material and since I can found wood material here, I decided to make my own.

Material :
I choose Iron Wood cos it's a bit heavier compare to other wood material and fairly strong

The feel :
I'm really happy with the final look. The weight also slightly heavy compare to other wood material and also from plastic/resin wand.

I used to work with mercury wand which I think one of the best wand out there. For me, Mercury a bit heavy to manipulate since it made of full stainless steel especially to do striking vanish.

With this wand I can do striking vanish easily. I can execute Vernon spin vanish as well with good momentum. I've played with it for like 3-4 days and I really enjoy played with it.

I'm so happy with it

Cheers
Andre

Andre,

They look great and I bet you are spoilt for choice now!  I love them al but I think the twister ones are still my favourites.

They all have a lovely classical, elegant look to them.
