Handmade Wand ''Rush'' JB-494t

This wand was commissioned by Jennifer B. and is based on the character Nicholas Rush from Stargate. Jennifer described him to me as a collection of dichotomies -- logic and passion, caring and callousness, pragmatic and heroic, and symbolic of order and chaos. I reflected that in the wand design by combining a rough, textured handle and an ordered shaft. The inscription reads "Creare machina id potest sentio est crudelitas" in the Ancient Alphabet from Stargate (does anyone have a translation?).

The handle base features a burned-in Seal of Rassilon, from Doctor Who. I would like to add that it is very difficult to burn perfect circles onto a curved surface.

Measures 13 1/2". Completed August 2013.
