Beech wood is a beautiful golden honey toned wood, hailed to be the favourite of the Elves. The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, graced in wisdom and knowledge beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very poorly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. Such wizards and witches, having obtained a beech wand without having been suitably matched (yet coveting this most desirable, richly hued and highly prized wand wood), have often presented themselves at the homes of learned wandmakers such as myself, demanding to know the reason for their handsome wand’s lack of power. When properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood, hence its lustrous reputation. They excel in the magical realms of healing, cooking and creating.
