Good suggestion about the start of the splitting process.
I used to do it dry, but no more, always well-soaked now.
And I tend to do 1/4 pound or so at a time, get it split, cut to length and pre-gouged in one setting. Then gouge 25 - 30 pieces.
Since I stockpiled and experimented with cane so much over the years I still have a bunch from 1979 - 1981.
Working on that this past week, and getting every reed to work to my standard.
And this cane I considered unusable when I bought it (thus, the experiments - a fun topic for another thread when I think I can stand the ridicule...) ![[toast]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley15.gif)
