It's density makes for a fine polish and finish. Osage Orange's harness lends itself to the properties of strength and endurance, perfect for protective spells and reflecting dark magic. Also great for summoning and healing work.

Myth Impressions
Meet the Maker
I've been a maker since I was a kid, my dad being a mechanic, wood crafter, and all around handyman; I grew up learning to use a variety of tools. As an art major I learned a variety of additional skills, sculpting, painting, pottery, and jewelry. I started playing with leather in the late 90's and spent 23 years in the mid 2000's traveling the country working at Renaissance/Medieval Faires. Then in 2010 I settled down in north Idaho, and soon after opened my first Etsy shop making and selling steampunk goods. I sell in person at several events in the northwest US region, and as the popularity of steampunk waned, I continued to broaden my cosplay prop and accessory line to include several genera in the sci-fi/fantasy realm. Our brands now include Steampunked Out (steampunk goods made from leather, brass and/or wood), Nemesis Gear (general hero/villain and fantasy leather accessories), and Nox Hollow (our brand for handcrafted magic wands made from more than 30 different woods). I'm always making new items and playing with new ideas. While I do get inspiration from movies/TV and the wide world of cosplay, I design and make everything myself from the start and do not use any store bought patterns. This keeps my products fresh with a unique style. I hope you enjoy your purchase for many years of cosplay fun. Thank you for your support!
How it’s Made
Our wands are individually turned on a lathe and hand finished. Wands are sanded with 320 grit or higher and then burnished for fine finish. They are then oiled with linseed oil and polished with wax. Some handles are special editions which may be carved, wood burned, or trimmed in paint. These special editions are slightly higher in price.
