<<... Interesting that you leave a 2mm-wide strip of bark down the back of your reed! I strip the shiny bark, but leave a narrow line (less than .5 mm) of inner bark down the spine. Sometimes I eat into that more than I should>>

Uh-oh, Nynynyah, this is not what i said, and this is not how the back spine ends up on my finished reeds

My original statement was:

<<on my reeds the back windows are usually shaved only as deep as the top layer of the mid bark, *** and are usually started as strips 2mm across and can be 3mm+ wide when reed is finished ***

If the two long windows down the back are started at 2mm wide and are widened to 3mm+ what has to be cut so they get widened ? Some comes off the spine, some comes off the rails

During this widening process, the knife grazes off most of the shiny bark on the spine in the process, and by the time i'm finished, if i'm lucky, there's maybe a fine hairline of shiny bark left, most of the time the spine ends up completely debarked, like you said <<Sometimes I eat into that more than I should>>
