Game of the Week: Utter Nonsense

About Central Curios:

I make hand turned and carved wands of various exotic woods, and write original lore and personalities for each piece… I started creating wands for friends just because it was a fun project I could work on, and my friends really enjoyed the results. But after a few wands, I found that I could reach a point of true relaxation in the simplicity of woodworking. I loved the sense of total quiet in the whirring of the lathe and scraping of the wood. Just me and the work, and nothing else matters. I have always enjoyed history and mythology, and as a child of the 90s I grew up with the works of J.K. Rowling. I fell in love with her wand lore, and went through the same research process to create original lore for the exotic woods that I use.
