Wand: Cachium

I added Cachium to Etsy.

Cachium is a 16 and three-quarter inch wand made of juniper ashei cedar with a 20mm blue-grey jasper in the base of the pommel.

I finished Cachium's initial shape almost 18 months ago, complete through sanding, but then put the wand aside. I just wasn't sure if it was actually finished. Then my friend Lillian sold to me for a steal a small bag of jasper she had hand-shaped into cabochons. There was one blue-grey stone and even as it hit my palm I knew it was part of Cachium.

I slimmed the grip and smoothed out the thin pommel before carving the setting for the jasper. I was going to remove entirely the bulge near the wand's tip but decided to just reduce it to more like a ripple. Once I was satisfied with the shape, I added a single coat of a dark stain to bring out the red in the elder wood, and then added the stone on a bright Sunday morning.

Cachium likes to hunt for treasure, or anything else you might need, if you have the proper spells. Spellbook not included.
