I only hear and read fantastic things about Andrew's work, as Snape's post suggests. I'm just interested as a prospective buyer because while Barder's work is beyond my means Andrew's may not be.

Let's hope the rod and it's new owner share the right "chemistry"
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

When I last returned from seeing Edward I told my wife to make sure that she speaks to him first if anything happens to me as she hasn't got a clue about these things!
There is now only one more Barder rod I want and it is a very specific rod owned by someone I know and he says he's not selling...
