Hello,
just somequestions I want answers can you help me out?  

What type of material should I use to make my own runes? What type of woods, which sizes? Can the run be small or big? Or is it always the same size? how do I make the draws on it? Do I paint it? Which type I use to make it?


thanks in advance

I have been making runes for years and the best advice I can give you is to use what you have. I always use wood, usually cherry because I have an old cherry tree in my back yard which tends to drop branches but I have used any hard wood that I can get (mostly birch or oak in my part of the world). I would not use pine or any other softwood because of the pitch but I have used any other branches that I find in the woods.
The size depends on the size of the branch. One to 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick is about right for ordinary rune sets. If you are making a bindrune talisman you might use a larger diameter and not so thick but whatever you have should work.
I used to carve the staves by hand and then stain the carved surface darker than the background, but these days I use a woodburning tool since arthritis has made it difficult to use carving tools. (I know, some say that you should never do this, but as it was explained to me, wood is made up of the elements of earth, air and water so adding fire cannot be too wrong. Besides, they do not seem to work any worse than the carved ones.) Finish the wood any way you like as long as it is durable and looks good.
Finally, they should be purified and consecrated as you would any other magickal tool. The Norns be with you.

You can make a really good set of individual runes from clays like Femo that you bake in the oven. Its a fun thing to do with kids and get them started, much safer than burning and cutting and carving
