Wood you can make wands with

• Cherry
• Holly
• Oak
• Sugar Maple
• etc.

Do not use weak woods such as pine, your wand will break like a toothpick.

Some of my favorite cores are:

• Dragon Heartstring
• Phoenix Feather
• Unicorn Hair
• Veela Hair
• Hippogriff Feather
• Hinkypunk Hair
• Basilisk Scale
• Satyr Hair
• etc.

You cannot use any non-magical items. DO NOT try using wizard/witch hair beause that will not work either, and there is the possibility of fatal backfire.
