Hand-forged steel wand with a copper-wrapped, twisted handle.  
 
I try not to overthink making the wands. Unless it's a custom piece, I like to start a wand with no preconceptions. I forge out the length of the wand, tapering slightly towards the tip, and then I flip it over and put in a twist for the handle. I much prefer to let the twists just happen and try to do them in one heat with little or no control. So in a way, the wand comes together however it wants. I just sort of facilitate the activity.
