The wand do look nice and are well presented with the case and all,
but I wonder if they are Maple and Walnut (for example) or Maple and
Walnut FINISH (stain). If they are common wood stained to the wood
colors described that makes the a lot less valuable than if they are
the genuine wood indicated. $35 is not outrageous; it's fair
considering the time and work involved. But in the end, it's just a
dowel and a peg; available at most hardware and building supply stores.

All you need to make a very similar wand is about $5 in parts and a
little effort. For instructions, see my published works-

All you need is a dowel, a peg, a feather, some food coloring or dye,
and some wood stain. If you buy all these part, you'll get enough to
make two or three wands.
