Whew, so they all knew trees. Bully on them. Mo kicked his feet lightly against his chair and considered if they had missed any. Standard woods. What was standard, anyway? Like standard... in the UK? But what if you lived in India? Were there different standard woods?

What did a redwood wand look like? Mo thought he'd rather like one of those... maybe for a second wand when he graduated. He had a million billion questions, but Wand Dude didn't really give the impression that he would respond to questions without biting someone's face off first.

Hmm hmm. "Redwood," Mo finally offered. "How do you make a wand from vine when it's all twisty? Are those wands just harder to carve, or do they often end up thinner because there's smaller material to work with?" Oh. Those were questions, Mosef.
