How to make Tom Riddle’s ( Voldemort ) wand from Harry Potter

Why has no one made Tom Riddle’s wand from Yew wood yet?

Taxus baccata (European yew) is a well known poisonous plant. Eating a relatively small quantity of leaves can be fatal for livestock and humans. The toxicity of yew leaves is due to the presence of alkaloids known as taxines, of which taxine B is suspected as being one of the most poisonous.

RIGHT. That’s probably why.

“It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather — just one other. It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother, gave you that scar. Yes, thirteen-and-a-half inches. Yew.”

This wand was made from a log of English Yew that I bought specifically for this project and I fitted it with a Phenix (red turkey) feather core. This is as described in the Harry Potter series by Garrick Ollivander. This build was a lot of fun to do, I truly hope you enjoy it!!!
