So this was day one of Gandr polishing process. She wasn't supposed to carve it, just to make the wood smoother and all that. To leave it in the sunlight and moonlight for a full lunar cycle and just perfect its shape while it sat there, absorbing the light.

Touching the delicate piece of wood with her forefinger, she ran it across what would soon be a Gandr. No wandwork, since it was so delicate and would likely break under the pressure. Nope. Just smoooothing the Gandr.
