Abies alba
Called "Silver" or "European"
To wandmakers, this wood is both aesthetically pleasing and resilient. The wood itself is soft and white, but it is most commonly known for the pine-scented essential oil that can be extracted.
Fir is known as the "survivor's wand" as Gerbold Octavius Ollivander claimed he sold Fir wands to three wizards who experienced mortal peril unscathed.
According to a Muggle bible legend, the Fir was created to save a sacrificial child's life, and was henceforth known as the "Tree of Life".
In Greek mythology, the Fir, along with the Pine, is sacred to the mischevious God, Pan.
