I wanted to post some pics of my wand collection and of some of the wands I have and some I have made myself. I am a big Harry Potter fan and I have gotten most of my stuff from the Noble Collection and Alivans.com. All of the Noble wands are made of resin and the ones from alivans are wood but are more expensive because each is handmade. The wands I make are also made from wood ( I have a lath in my house so this helps ) my wands are all stained tho not from actual hard woods because those can get pricey. Thees are my wands from Noble and Alivan's Hear are pics of the Noble professor Lupin wand and the Lupin wand I made myself (this is my fav so I placed a lot of effort into making it SA, I actually think my wand is closer to the color from the movie ) Noble Lupin wand My Lupin wand Noble Lupin and My Lupin wand Closeup I will have more of my wand up soon

Nice work, man! I agree with Corellia about your wand looking better than the Noble Collection version. Real nice job.
Now if you could just figure out how to do dragon heart or Phoenix feather cores in em...

Now if you could just figure out how to do dragon heart or Phoenix feather cores in em... HAHAHAHAHA ;D ;D ;D actually the one that is dark brown with natural wood has a dog whisker (my dog's)because it was made in two parts so i made a small hole where it could be placed (no dogs where harmed in the making of this wand) ;D

thank you Stefana each time i add a new wand i have to figure out how to display them all well. when i had less, the wands in the back where not stacked, they where vertical and i could place the cover of each box next to each one

Alex, I know they probably have some sentimental value, but if your looking to downsize your collection to make way for new wand creations maybe ya could sell some (or give some) to young children. Just a thought. You'd be like Olivander!!

I also want to start a business to sell my hand made wands.

I noticed you've made a Hermione wand from the first two films. Cool! I also make wands, only out of a dowel and electric tape. Nowhere near good quality as yours... ...but I bet I can make a mean Harry wand with some brown duct tape to go over the black inner layer.
