Both of Ron's wands have had Unicorn tail hair. His second was made of willow (like Lily's) and 14 inches, the second-longest wand mentioned in the series. The longest being, of course, Hagrid's.

  wand.  If Ron does die I highly doubt it will be until the end of the 
  book.  JKR is very attached to his character that is why I say this.  
  Ron seems a lot more susceptible to things for one thing he's not as 
  observant as Hermione and Harry.  He also has a much larger 
  family...why is this a reason?  Well, look at all the people he might 
  have to sacrifice himself for, I believe he would for any of his 
  family or Hermione and Harry.  However, I still think that Ron will 
  live.  However he is the hero's best friend, and the hero's best 
  friend well often times is always very susceptible.  However, not 
  everyone is going to die...this isn't a tragedy I'm sure.  I believe 
  it will have a happy ending, leaving many of the characters..including 
  some that we still love and care about.  But the chessboard thing has 
  made me really think about the possibility of him dying much more...I 
  hope not though, cuz Ron is one of my favorite characters.

  Sorry for using up a message but my books are on-loan right now.

  Wasn't it the wand that Ron had in SS/PS and CoS that had the 
  unicorn's hair? I seem to remember something that the wood was cracked 
  in some places and exposed the unicorn's hair. That was Charlie's old 
  wand, right? Then Ron got a new wand in PoA, did that wand have a 
  unicorn hair core too, I can't remember if it did or not?
