Lavender wands are made from the flowering stems, this gives than an absolute maximum length of about 12 inches or 300mm. The stems are about 1 to 2mm wide so several are used and bunched together with braid to form the wand. Some like to have the flower heads left on the end of the wand. This is an option but I would like to point out that these flower heads are very delicate and will fall of unless extreme care is used.

Special Notes:

Lavender is suitable for all wand sizes from 6 inches to 12 inches. Wands from this are made from 5 to 10 stems. It is possible to get perfectly straight wands naturally from this material, there is no significant bark.
It is possible to place a wooden handle on this wand body

Bark left on
The bark is left as natural as possible, any branch intersections are left as close to the main body as possible and sanded down smooth. Contrary to the statement above some feel that by not allowing the wood below the bark to be exposed it can affect the properties of the wand. The wood is still recommended to waxed or varnished.

Braid
I am not happy to ship a wand without braid, especially at the tip as this helps to strengthen a wand. If no braid is selected I will use a braid of a colour I feel is suitable from the economy braid range.

I will ship a wand with no braid if this is specifically asked for and the possible consequences of not having braid are understood.
