As always, when starting carving I always recommend getting a pair of cut gloves. They are less than $10 and even if you only wear one on the hand holding the wood, they can save you from some serious cuts.

Especially when first learning. If you’re trying to get through a knot, the grain takes the blade in an unexpected direction, or for whatever reason the blade slips.

They aren’t perfect, you can still stab directly into them, but it lessens the depth. But they will protect you from slices. Mine have paid for themselves at least three times through not having to visit the doctor for stitches.

Also, whatever knife you get, make sure it locks (if folding). The best way to cut the hand holding the knife is to have it fold closed on you.

If you're curious, here are some books on the subject of occult wandlore and wand making.

I'd also recommend looking at examples of occult wands; some people include metals, crystals, dried herbs, consecrate them in incense, etc. etc. I'm pretty sure those two books cover that subject however. :)
