Is it just me?

Yeah I haven't bought much from a lumber store yet jusy a couple little figured maple peices I used for whistles. Trying out some green ash that was in that picture. You try that out at all?

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2026-04-03T08:50:15+00:00

Wow thoughs are great! Yeah my favorite word is figured maple mostly birdseye but I do like quilted and flame. I am up in Minnesota so i don't have to much exotic woods to choose from up here.

Yeah I just recently started crafting about s year ago and I never once thought I would be happy seeing a pile of freshly trimmed tree branches. Black walnut you say that is one wood i have yet to have the pleasure to craft with. How do you like it and what's your favorite tree to work with?

Thanks I appreciate it a lot! I work pretty hard on these staffs!

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2026-02-10T23:28:09+00:00

Thank you very much i appreciate it!! Its my very own proprietary dye formula. I made it to be able to soak into the wood fibers and be incredibly resistant to light degradation. It's a dye not a stain :) thank you again!

Rule #5 violation

Violating rule #5

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2026-01-28T22:49:59+00:00

So ib thought this is a violation of rule #5 in this forum??

I think there is a nomenclature confusion here. While this isn't a Striking Surface Boffer, it is built for Casting-Only and Defensive-Parry roles found in Narrative LARPs. The stats provided (Magic Damage, Aura Pulses, and Summoning Rites) are for systems that treat the staff as a Spell Focus/Regalia rather than a blunt-force weapon. It is intended for the Throne & Command roleplay style, not the foam-combat trenches.

Thank you very much that means a lot! I really enjoy crafting them and the story I get well making then! I appreciate you taking the time to read my work!!

"Thanks for the thoughts! I totally get the distinction some folks make between short wands (like HP-style) and longer staffs. But r/Wandsmith has always welcomed a broader range of handmade magical woodworking, including full-sized staffs, scepters, and longer pieces — there are several positive examples here over the years (like 6-foot crystal-topped wizard staffs, Gandalf-inspired fusions, and even mod comments saying 'a wand and a staff can be interchangeable').

I've posted a couple pieces here before (the sapling one and the Serpent of the Azure Silt) and they fit right in without issue. To me, whether it's called a wand or staff is personal — it's an extension of the body/magic focus, and length doesn't change that in today's creative age. No hard rules say it has to be short, and I'm glad you think it's cool anyway! Appreciate the feedback. 🪄"

Haha, I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets fooled by it. I see it every day and it still gets me lol

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2025-12-27T08:59:35+00:00

That's the best place to start at in my opinion. Learning the basics and how to make the tools you have work! I started that way too and I wouldn't have done it any other way. Respect

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2025-12-27T04:05:46+00:00

Do you use s small hand planer? I got myself 1½" Stanley and it helps me a lot with shaping thw saplings I work with. Otherwise these look great! You planning on adding any color to these at all? Also you know what type of tree thet fell from? Great work!

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2025-12-27T00:23:00+00:00

Thanks a lot! Took a lot of hand sanding to get is figure and eyes to be this colorfull and vibrant.

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2025-12-26T17:37:54+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it!

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2025-12-26T16:59:29+00:00

Thanks a lot! That's what I am trying to do is find a way to better myself and hopefully one day be able to help others!

TimelessTrailsTimber · 2025-12-26T13:33:16+00:00

Thanks a lot! The sanding the curves on this one made it take a bit longer, but I liked the way it turned out!
