Done! Here is the finished product of my whittling. I love how the Acrylic Sealer left a nice gloss on it, and darkened the wood a small shade.
Red Oak, thirteen and a half inches, core of the four elements, unyielding.
I was going to add a constellation on top of the wand to give the impression of the night sky, but after sketching it, it looked unfitting, so I left it as it is.
I used a shirt piece, a ribbon, and twist tie to wrap it. Looks tacky, but it works. At least the ribbon and twist tie helped keep the ends down so that they couldn't expose the wand.
So after a month of hard work and dedication, the wand has been completed on schedule and my friend loved it. I even got to do the Ollivander shpeel. Now we just have to make sure she doesn't go around trying to cast unforgivable curses on people. X) Wouldn't work anyway; the wand was designed to create, not destroy.
