After digging out her wand, Paulina set about placing one end of the piece of wood against the ground. Holding the top with one hand and the middle with the other, she proceeded to lightly push. And puuuuuush some more. At first she wasn't sure if the wood liked her or not because it didn't seem to be cooperating, but finally she ended up with the result that she wanted.

Good, because she didn't really want to have to go back to the wood pile and try to work out what else she could use. She'd end up being here all day!

Paulina picked up her wand so that she could begin carving. "Diffindo!" A line was cut in the middle of the wood. With another "Diffindo!" a second line was made about three inches away from it. This would mark the handle of the bow.

From there she proceeded to shave the wood, making sure to leave the thickest part at the handhold. Shave. Shave. Shave. This part of the process was a little tedious she had to admit. It would be so easy to accidentally take off to much, so she made sure to work slowly and carefully. It was only when she was certain that the limbs curved similarly to each other that she felt ready to move on to the next part.

Taking hold of the caterpillar silk she had retrieved earlier, Paulina tied both ends to her bow making sure that it was taught. She was almost done.

But what would she name her bow?

Paulina bit her lip as she thought the matter over. A few moments later she had worked it out. Using Intaglio she carved the name into the handle: Amaryllis. It was her favourite flower.
