This wand is made from a single piece of cherry. It measures 14 3/8 inches overall. The handle including the kell is 5 inches. (The kell is the portion of the wand that is at the end of the handle.) It has a maximum diameter of 13/16 inches and tapers down to a minimum diameter of 5/16 inch. This wand is perfect for everyday or ritual use. Cherry has been used for thousands of years to make excellent wands. For a detailed description of the properties, historical and magical uses see: the "Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs," by Scott Cunningham. ABOUT ANCIENT MOON BOW WANDS Each wand is individually hand turned and crafted according to the will of the wood. The woods used to craft these wands are the same types of wood that have been used to make wands for thousands of years according to the Druidic and, as some would say, "the Old Religion" traditions. It is said, "The wand chooses the individual." However, it is also true that the wand within the wood guides it's creation. As a result, each wand is as unique an individual as the person who buys and uses it. No two wands will ever be exactly alike. So if you feel a wand has chosen you, don't let it pass you by, because it will never come again. When the crafting of each wand is completed, a friction polish is used to finish the wand. The polish used is a combination of schellac and natural waxes to give a high gloss finish. When essential oils were applied to test wands, the essences of the oils became fused into, and made a part of the finish. The scent of the oils remained for a much longer period of time than other finishes.
