Squiiiiiiiiiiiiiint. What.
What. "A wand can't be both stiff and swishy." squiiiiiiiint. It would literally have to be two separate woods fused together from core outward. And the balance would just be off. And the core would have trouble meshing. And it would explode. And probably someone would lose an eye.
So CLEARLY the child was confused. One or the other, but certainly not both.
Asher blushed. What Mr. Banner said did sound right, but he was sure he remembered that the old man who sold him the wand had said stiff yet still swishy. He figured that one of the men had to be wrong, and he was leaning towards the old guy they .
"I guess you are right, but how do I know which one it is?"
Moving on to the question, he didn't have any idea how man woods were offered, but he did know of a few.
"There is apple, beech, black walnut, Ebony, and redwood. Just to name a few."
