At the end of the day, I flop across my bed, kind of excited about the idea of making a wand, and glad Mrs. Jonas is a hands-on theory professor rather than just spouting facts.
My Magical Theory textbook is splayed open and I flip through the descriptions of wand making and trees until I come to the end and the Yew tree, reading:
Even when part of the Yew tree has been cut and or dies, the toxicity is still present. This is because of Taxine, a toxic alkaloid component in the leaves, bark, wood, and seed of the Yew.
So like Kiarr said. I follow along with the description, hunting for more information.
When making a wand or any magical or mundane item from Yew, one must wear a good respirator mask with eye protection and gloves, especially whilst sanding Yew. Disrobe and wash afterward
