Wood: Black Palm & Ebony Length: 15 3/8 " Diameter: 7/8" Weight: 2.5 oz The beauty of this wand is in the detail of the design and the color of the wood. The brightly colored Black Palm and Ebony are all natural; no dye or stain has been added. Ebony is hard and dense and this example has a pretty straight grain. Black Palm is hard but lighter in weight and its brown/tan background is accented with flecks of rich black grain. This wand is a unique quality handcrafted work of art. I sanded it super smooth on the lathe to 1000 grit. The black palm handle is finished with boil lindseed oil and super glue. Then the wand is coated with shellac and buffed with natural waxes. Handle and shaft woods are doweled and glued together with epoxy before turned on the lathe. Magical qualities of wood used to make wand: Black Palm Wood Origin: Southeast Asia Gender Association: Masculine Planetary Association: Jupiter, Sun Elemental Association: Water Other magical properties: The most remarkable thing about this wood is that its primary property is that of magic. The wood is naturally aligned with magic, and enhances magical energy. Obviously this is a good choice as a material for sacred objects. This wood is strongly aligned to water energy. It rejects all fire-related energies, and it would also not be useful for healing. It brings about positive changes, creates opportunities, and opens spiritual pathways. Good words to associate with this wood are: feeling, changing, growing, love, and art. This wood is excellent for gaining power and knowledge from nature (which is what magic is). Ebony (Gabon) Wood Origin: Africa, the Gabon region Gender Association: Masculine and Feminine, equality Planetary Association: Venus Elemental Association: All 5 (fire, water, earth, air, spirit) Other magical properties: Positive luck, balance of energy, Ebony is well-known as the most powerful magical wood. Scott Cunningham, trusted writer of over 30 books about magic and the occult, writes about ebony, "Ebony wood is protective and so is used in making amulets. Ebony wands give the magician pure, unadulterated power." The power of ebony is non-discriminating. It is useful for any magical practice and with any element. It is especially useful in spells dealing with the home, love, and Venus.

For Spear Point Hunter's Knife - Stainless Steel Blade - Handmade Cocobolo Wood HandleThe blade and handle are fantastic. All aspects of the experience were outstanding. Charles was really friendly and communicated well. Between the messaging, and pictures, I knew exactly what I was getting. He was even kind enough to make a left-handed sheath for me.
