Carved Grizzly Bear Elm Wand

This American Elm wood wand was hand carved on one end into the form of a tiny grizzly bear head and shoulder. The other end of this slender wand is smoothed over simply for a Folk style overall and either side may be used as the main projection point. Ethically harvested, carefully de-barked, and lovingly buffed smooth by hand with a hand rubbed oil paint finish.

American Elm is a slightly flexible yet strong wood excellent for metaphysical use adding stability, grounding, and focus to spells and often is used for invoking the Goddess.


Name of Wand: Grizzy Bear Elm Wand
Size: 10 1/2" long x 3/4"
Craftsperson: Tree Pruitt
#HM170

The wood that I craft my wands from is always ethically gathered, such as those that the wind has brought down or that come from general yard maintenance -- no trees are ever harmed for harvesting. I do not use power tools -- all of the work is done by hand. I only use branches and twigs that are free of disease, and not previously "dead", so that the wood remains strong. Heat is used to both sanitize and temper green wood, which further adds to the strength.

This is a one of a kind handmade item by Tree Pruitt. The photographs show different views of the same item. Because they come from Nature no two of my handmade wands can ever be the same.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. If you do not feel a connection to this wand I may be able to craft one for you.

What's In A Name American Elm Wood Wand HM109

A new wand to emerge from the metaphysical side of my art studio is a slender American Elm wood, sized at just 10" for easy carry & use. It's named "Iwilldoit" because it has an energy about it that feels ready to get to work -- a git-er-done type thing. It's crafted from an American Elm wood stick that was lovingly pruned, cleaned, shaped & colored with a red-walnut colored faux wood grain created by hand with acrylic paints because dried elm is a rather plain blond in color. The surface was then coated with a clear protective varnish, which also gives the wand a nice buffed shine. The projection end and the pommel end have been rounded over, shaped simply for comfort. The slender form of the wand still fits comfortably in most hand sizes.

 Though the wands official nickname is Iwilldoit, it has expressed even more character. It's possible that my own fondness for this wand stems from its compact size and relative flexibility, which makes it great to carry on-person Harry Potter style. However, when I reached out to ask Spirit for a name for this wand the first, and still strongest, thing that came to mind was "Stanley"! So, I admit that while crafting this wand I mentally referred to it as Stanley along the way rather than Iwilldoit. Personally, I suspect that name derives from the influence of the powerful yet somehow grounded characters of Stan Lee comic books! I'm not stating that this wand is any more of a superhero than another wand, but it certainly feels as if it has a desire to try. So that's what's in this wands name... serious work, but lighthearted play!

Finger Tip Elm Wand Crystal Pendants

Crystal Elm Wand Pendant w/ Brass
I've recently finished a group of little wands for use by finger tip that can hang around the neck as jewelry or the wrist to ensure contact. These mini wand pendants were made from ethically harvested American Elm wood branches that were gathered, de-barked, heat treated to clean, cut, shaped, colored, and skillfully topped with a clear Tibetan quartz crystal point to create a mini magic wand suitable to wear as jewelry. Copper, brass, and sterling silver accent the individual pieces.
Crystal Elm Wand Pendant w/ Silver
 These wands are unique, and did take some time to craft by hand without the use of power tools; a lot of effort and love has gone into each. At this time only four individual elm wands of this type have been made. They range in length from 2 1/2" to 3 " from wood end to crystal tip.
