need help finding Natural Wood branches for Harry potter Style Wands

[Brian Dirk]

Hey all, I'm failing at finding this.. so I'm hoping maybe the list may know / have suggestions. 

I have some friends that are *very* into Harry Potter.  And I'm looking to craft 

some custom wands for them hopefully from some branches The wood is apparently important for reasons I can't begin to fathom.. so I am looking for specific wood branches  

Specifically I'm looking for about 14 inches of a "Holly" wood branch, and about 14 inches of a "Hazel wood" branch about 1 -1.5 inches in diameter each. Preferably more than one. each so I have some ability to make mistakes. 

Short of buying a whole tree, The internet does not seem to provide for this specific a request. Anyone got any ideas on where I can find / buy this?

This store on etsy was decent for me in aquiring specialty lumber: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ThinBoards?ref=l2-shopheader-name 

I'm not sure if he stocks sticks, but really you need a square-cut stock, since you will be turning it down, not a raw stick, I think (based on the wands I have seen). I know he mills his own lumber, so he ought to be able to get you whatever dimensions you need.

Mark,
Yeah, I actually bought some of those, and asked the seller to incorporate thicker sticks in the bundle they said "No problem" and then sent me a bundle with no thick sticks in it. :(

Aakin,
I was sorta hoping to incorporate some of the natural features of the wood (curves, knots, etc...) Into the end project, but if I can't find anything: that is a good resource, thanks.

I have some fig and cedar branches if that's interesting

[Brian Dirk]

Id be interested may not be the final product, but could be enough to play around with until I find a different source.

I have a pile of sticks that I was planning on throwing away, some of the wood is not great but there are a few pieces there that might be good for practice. Let me know if you want the nicer pieces of wood, I'll drop them off at the shop.
