welllll ... no.

The very first wand that Ollivander hands to Harry is:

"Beechwood and dragon heartstring.  Nine inches. Nice and flexible."

Ollivander also says, a bit earlier in the scene, that " Every Ollivander 
wand has a core of powerful magical substance ... We use unicorn hairs, 
phoenix feathers and the heartstrings of dragons."

(reference Chapter 5, the US version)
