There is no bark option available for this material, also these wands can be quite fragile and care needs to be taken when using them.

Reed is suitable for all wand sizes from 6 inches to 24 inches. It is possible to get perfectly straight wands naturally from this material, there is no significant bark and they are quite fragile.
It is possible to place a wood handle on this 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.
