After some research, my friend and I found out that the wand is red oak, which is useful to know not only because I as a whittler should at least know my woods if I'm going to work with them, but also because I can be super awesome when I explain the wand upon delivery in an Ollivander tone:
"Red Oak, thirteen and a half inches, core of snow."
Yes, I put snow in the core. Not only that, but I will also add a touch of wind (accomplished by holding the wand downwind), some ground (a.k.a. dirt), and some fire (needle over flame then inserting it in wand; will be done outdoors). With all four elements, it's going to be a pretty powerful wand. That, and the description should actually be:
"Red Oak, thirteen and a half inches, core of elements."
Hopefully after this process and applying the sealer, the whole thing should be finished no later than the end of the week. I am so excited!!! 8D
