Description

This listing is for one unique wand, hand crafted from Irish bog yew, then oiled to bring out the natural color of the ancient wood. Bog yew is very rare, and this is the first time in ten years of wandmaking that I've had enough to make wands. These wands are very limited, as when I run out of bog yew I may never be able to find enough to make wands again. I also believe these wands are the only bog yew products currently on amazon US. Bog Yew is an extremely rare timber which is excavated from deep underground, usually as a by-product of turf cutting, or when bogland is drained for agricultural use. The wood varies in age, usually ranging between 2,000 and 6,000 years old. The wood has been preserved due to the unique conditions of the Turf bogs, which waterlog the wood and keep it free from oxygen and sunlight which would cause it to decay. Unlike bog oak, bog yew does not turn black, instead turning a dark brown with a hint of red.
