Wand 54 - one of those rare finds. This started as an unpromising length of rough, shapeless branch. But as we worked on it the simple arching curve became evident and the innate power and magic of the wood came through. The quality of the wood is remarkable, having a texture which is fine and bonelike. No embellishments or surface treatments were needed, we used a little walnut oil to protect the finish. This wand was a particular favourite, it sat well in the hand, had excellent balance and felt like a natural extension to the arm.
Fuchsia is 19½ inches (495mm) long
