Hand-Carved Sugar Maple Wand
This wand was knocked from it’s tree in Chicago by a very strong wind and lightning storm. The design of this wand was to keep the bark but to shave it to a smoother texture. From the handle the bright white interior of the sugar maple is exposed and then tapered to the point. The bottom is biased to match the angle of the wielder’s hand and concaved into a delightful thumbprint shape.
The Wand is Knife carved for the initial sharpening and then sanded smooth to a soft touch finish. The wand is intentionally left unsealed so that it may absorb any hand oils or other spell components during it’s life in the tradition of Wabi-Sabi.
