You got the same as me -- are we more similar than we think? But 
despite being pleased that wb recognised me enough to give me 
redwood instead of something European or Eastern US, I still 
believe that wb site Ollivander's is just a game 

and my REAL wand is pepperbird and thunderbird feather (JKR didn't 
even PUT Thunderbirds in FB, she could have had a marvelous entry 
explaining that they are really the same as quetzalcoatls) and I 
thought mine might be SHORTER than 8.75

and YOUR real wand is ebony, phoenix feather, and 11 inches -- 

I like to think that Ollivander's wands are not merely not rough 
branches, but are nicely turned and lathed and bentwood, and that 
Lucius's wand is ebony that's shaped kind of like an oblong 
cross-section, but twisted the way up so it has like two spiral 
ridges running up it (and gets narrower toward the busness end) and 
has a very small vein on (non tarnishing) silver running along side 
one of the ridges.... like if you remember those inlaid belt buckets 
that had tiny dots of silver inlaid for stars, very beautiful without 
being very blatant...
