You guys seem pretty good at wood stuff. What do you with these creations once they’re complete?
Practice Pyromancy, clearly ;-P

I always assume Norse runes when I thought of the staff/rod. However, Harry had prime opportunities to compare his runes to Norse runes when Gard uses her rune based magic and doesn't.
He does, in fact -- he looks at her stuff and remarks that he's familiar with Norse runes, but that he doesn't recognize Gard's runes.

And when Gard describes one of her rune tokens, it doesn't sound like any Norse rune I'm familiar with.

That blasting rod and one staff of mine usually end up as cosplay props. The holly staff is too heavy (and pretty!) to hike with.

My other woodworking I use as walking sticks when I hike (well, one or two I use, I'm trying to sell the others).

Can you post more pics of the stuff you’ve made?

In regards to the books, this made me wonder about the staff Dresden uses. He must have a rubber thingie on the bottom given he uses it in urban settings where bare hard wood would create lack of traction while walking with it.

Nice, thanks for sharing those. I liked the colouration on the staff on the new one.

Thanks! It's all natural color -- all I do is rub it down with Danish oil, which brings it out.

Making your own Traditional Ozark Folk Art, huh?  ;D

EXACTLY...

Well, sort of.  Technically our camp is in "The Ozark Mountains", but it's really the Osage Valley.  But Absolutely I'll claim it.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.
