Welcome to the Wandmaker's Notebook!

My name is Maranda and I make Harry Potter-style wands under the label Praeclarus Wands. This blog is where I share my thoughts about wandmaking, post tutorials, talk about Wizarding World news, and other cool stuff.

I hope you'll come with me on this journey!



See you on the next page!
