My hand is better now, although still not 100%. Fortunately, I've now finished all the wands for our Halloween costumes. Anyway, I figured you folks would like to see what I darned neared ruined my hands making. Presenting the Wand of The Mighty Rob:
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="375"]
13 inches long, mesquite with sasquatch hair core, somewhat flexible.[/caption]
You can't tell because of the light I used, but there is scrollwork on the handle. Also, bear in mind that this thing started out as a mesquite branch about 1 3/4 inches in diameter, which I managed to whittle down to the toothpick you see above. I made a wand for my wife's costume also; she has decided that her wand's Ollivander-style description is as follows: 11.5 inches long, mesquite with jackalope hair core, slightly rigid. God, I love that woman. :)
Take care,
~Rob
Good to see the American Mage society is up and about.
@Mike Lewis: That sounds like a club I’d join. ‘Course, I’d have to join as an illusionist, not a full mage, because of my art skills, but still… Wonder what the dues would be and if I’d have to pay in dollars or galleons?
So, about panel four: hobgoblins, demo-goblins, or just plain goblins?
@Strykor: None of the above. (Insert Evil DM Laugh) Heh heh heh… 😉
@Strykor: Kobolds, obviously. Kobolds are very dangerous for reasons that I will let Rob show you, instead of spoiling what I expect to come.
Rob has already given you at least three clues to suggest why kobolds are so dangerous: They’re small. They’re tricky. They build a lot of traps.
ps — I haven’t seen Dhur’s axe in a while, now…. maybe he has Toon Pockets?
@Rob: Where did you find a jackalope with fur 11.5 inches long? Or were several tail hairs used? ^_^
@Arkanabar: Axespace is on the other side of Hammerspace from Pitcherspace (http://skin-horse.com/comic/but-she-didnt/)
Hi! I’m back from the dark side of the moon and need to do major catch up.
Love the wand. My own is 13 inches of poison sumac with a Carrot Top hair core. Very springy.
😀
Now that I’m caught up…..
Oh fudge….. It’s kobolds…..
Dog Faced Kobolds! I love these guys.
Kudos to you, good sir, on your fine taste in humanoids.
Next time, just buy one online – there are many HP-type wooden wands that are reasonably priced, saving you a lot of personal effort (and sore hands).
