This wand is Oak, 19 1/2 in, procured when my brother and my dad did some yard work over christmastime. I singed it just a bit, as well as adding a protection rune on the handle ( specifically the rune Algiz). There is a stone attatched at the end from my personal collection, no idea where it came from. The wand has a definite feeling of stability and connection. Longer than I usually make.
