I've just bought one from a chap on the Complete Fisher forum who posts as Hiram.a.Biff. He can sometimes be found on here as The Priestmaker too.

Makes very good priests, but this was the first wading staff I've seen of his. Hoping to receive it by the end of the week.

Be worth dropping him a line and seeing what he can do for you.

He also posts on this forum as, I believe, thestickman (or something along those lines).

I'm booked in for one of his stickmaking classes in couple of weeks and hope to be making my own!
